To think eastenders viewers are mainly thick people

[JakeBrake]

It's harky aspirationl tv is it. ;)

And to be able to converse with the char obviously

dontcha want the lolly?

but you are in a different playground aren't you? didn't I at least get that bit right?

c'mon....

No idea of playgrounds? Do you need an asprin?

The problem with this thread is that everytime someone tries to defend eastenders I think they're taking the piss.

Roar

please yourself, just trying to be welcoming....

I Sky Plus 'Enders (well, did Sky Plus it) and watch it at my leisure, so it's really only equivalent to watching one long-ish film per week.

It's 2011. Nobody has to be a slave to telly schedules!

(Corrie is for ancient northerners a different demographic than mine - so cannot possibly comment).

But Eastenders is on the BBC ...I thought the BBC was acceptable on MN

No, what I mean is:

you are perfectly entitled to say they are rubbish.

But it doesn't make me thick if I like them.

Are you bright enough to understand that, smallwhitecat?

The Archers is twaddle.

Radio 4 'drama' is unbearable, full stop.

wot have playgounds got to do with ee?

too clever for the likes of lil old me

I really have no idea what you mean by playgrounds that charge admission. Like a wacky warehouse?

usualsuspect - No, only BBC4 is entirely acceptable these days.

I think she means the others that have defected over here for some reason

BBC3 is practically ITV.

PMSL@ 'more elevated intellectal circles'

Oh deary.

Small White cat. On fire!

the others as in ghostlike others?

v confused

its their time to waste isn't it? whats it to you?

I don't know anyone under 65 who listens to the Archers. Are you in free bus pass territory SWC?

crap tv is marvellous for escapism, I agree with fallot. There's nothing like a hard day of work then coming home and letting your brain switch off to some crap like Australian masterchef/new top model/ee for 30 mins. Marvellous. It may be a waste of time but I need a wind down 30 mins after work tbh.

Lol at you all. It's reassuring to see mm changeth not

JakeBrake, for what it's worth, thank you for trolling in relatively sensitive style. Not everyone would have made that distinction.

Coo fox you need to join your h on twitter. Everyone archery there
