I’ve never seen an Ant and Dec programme. What have you never done?

Inspired by a reference on another thread. I don’t really understand what Ant and Dec do because I haven’t seen them since they were singing as PJ & Duncan, so I don’t get the reference.

I also haven’t seen Star Wars, so I had a surprise one week a few years ago when Radio Four named a programme “I’ve never seen Star Wars” like that was strange or something. Grin

What cultural things have passed you by?

I've never seen :
Games of thrones
Kardashian's
Love island
Lion king

Nor read Harry Potter or Lord of the rings

Probably many more must read/ watch things that everyone raves about.

EssentialHummus · 28/05/2021 15:58

I also haven’t seen Star Wars. Feels good to get it out Grin.

LemonMuffins · 28/05/2021 15:59

Game of Thrones.

Cowbells · 28/05/2021 16:00

Game of Thrones
Love Island
Lion King
Star Wars (tried but OMG it was so boring)

TeenMinusTests · 28/05/2021 16:01

Felt an unborn baby kick.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 28/05/2021 16:01

Never read or seen Harry Potter

Montalbanosono · 28/05/2021 16:01

I've never been to Nando's or Starbucks or called an Uber.

TeenMinusTests · 28/05/2021 16:02

Oh sorry, cultural.
Watched netflix.

RickiTarr · 28/05/2021 16:02

@TeenMinusTests I hope you get to, (assuming you aim to.) Flowers

Drank a cup of coffee

RickiTarr · 28/05/2021 16:03

No I haven’t seen Game of Thrones either. I felt like the only person in the country at one point. Glad to see there’s a few of us. Smile

Downtown abbey, call the midwife, line of duty, strictly come dancing, kardashians, Harry Potter, Star Wars, James Bond, marvel, game of thrones... so much stuff I’ve never watched even 3 minutes of!
In terms of cultural things, I’ve never been to the ballet or the opera and I hate art galleries/most museums (although I have been to some!).

Samcro · 28/05/2021 16:05

seen line of duty, Killing eve, game of thrones.
also now don't watch any tv shows that run over a week on ITV.

TeenMinusTests · 28/05/2021 16:05

@RickiTarr Well, not within me, I'm in my 50s now (we adopted). It's just too personal to ask of anyone else though, maybe if I get to be a GM some day.

RickiTarr · 28/05/2021 16:06

I’m afraid I was including popular culture too @TheChosenTwo

In terms of high culture, I went to the ballet once and swore never to be dragged there again, and I’ve stuck to that. Smile I love opera, though.

Ditto. I've never seen most 'reality shows' or watched Coronation St. etc Only watched Star Wars during lockdown. Never taken drugs or bought a round in a pub (I've ordered drinks with food I guess but never gone out just to go drinking & ordered at a bar).

Oh yes I’m sure Gran is allowed those kind of privileges. Drop hints 😉

What kind of things run over a week and why are you boycotting them?

We don’t have live telly any more and the ITV app annoys me so I don’t use it very often.

The list of popular TV programmes I have never watched would be almost endless, but it’s fair to say that if it features Ant & Dec, Simon Cowell, Phil and/or Holly or dancing or the word ‘celebrity’ in the title, it would be on the list.

newtb · 28/05/2021 16:13

Never watched Corrie
Never eaten in a Macdonalds
Loads of stuff

emmathedilemma · 28/05/2021 16:14

Smoked (not even tried it)

MinorCharacter · 28/05/2021 16:14

I’ve never seen a single episode of Friends.

Samcro · 28/05/2021 16:15

@RickiTarr can't think what it was called, but watched one a few weeks ago, they dropped the last episode. so can't be doing with it now. also they always seem too dragged out.

FizzyPink · 28/05/2021 16:15

Never watched Friends
Never had chips and gravy
Never had eggs and chips (didn’t even know it was a thing until that thread the other day!)

So you didn’t get to see the end? Wow. That’s actually appalling of them.
