To be pissed off that Eastenders won best serial drama...

[MsKLo]

At the National TV Awards...

After their stupid and disrespectful baby swap story I really did not want them to win. And they do win and spout how they tackle difficult issues.

Eastenders - you are shite and should not have won

Corrie should have won!

corrie is crap!!!

yay glad they did

Don't people vote for these, though?

YANBU.

utter shite.

sorry I shouldn't have posted that. I don't vote, I was just angry about something else
sorry

btw OP, i agree with the acceptance speech sounding like a quote from BK's webchat. and a reproach to everyone who felt that the storyline was distasteful and dangerous. a kind of "ha, we won because we do challenging storylines" fuck off EE.

Corrie should have won Enders is pants and has been for lastfive years!!! (hence I have given it up) was pleased this morning won tho.

They always win the voted by the public awards. They have a younger audience who vote for these things.

It's the only one I watch but couldn't care less who won tbh

| voted Emmerdale.

yabu it's not actually important!

Doctors should've won, it's fab, still sky plus it even though it's years since I got addicted to it on maternity leave!

I quite like this morning but i always sing this to the tune:

"Dog!
Dog on a log
What type of dog's on the log today?"

I don't even remember why - it comes from my student days lost in the miists of time when R&J did it.......

and yes it is shit EE won.....WhoTF votes for these things?

Totally agree lissilou

They dOnt give a shit about all the people they upset with their baby swap story and still think it was good storywriting!

YABU to expect that just because they ran a storyline that upset mumsnetters, that they should not win an award.
In saying that I think all soaps are crap and unrealistic but I wasnt particularly upset by the baby storyline. Just thought it was stupid.
The world is a lot bigger than Mumsnet!

nothing to do with a story that upset mners. we know theres a big world out there. its a story that upset real people many of whom were mothers, theres a big difference.

I voted Emmerdale.

But there are lots of soap stories that upset people (not just mothers) This one just happened to have the 'power' and lobby of mumsnet behind the complaint.
I just dont see why people didnt simply turn off - that generally is the best way to impact a TV programme.

no, because sometimes you need to say "this is WHY" and this was a particulrly poor storyline. am sick of rehashing this. Im pissed off that they won, Im allowed to be. just as im allowed to be pissed off about their misogynistic storylines. shant be watching, but I will still tell everyone, this is why Im not watching.

leaving this thread now.

YANBU

I was pissed off and I don't even really watch the soaps.
I do know how hard Corrie worked what with their anniversary, and by all accounts have had better storylines, acting and so on for a while.
Reeeedickalous!!!

The non-winners all looked v.v.v annoyed!!

Yes they did - 'David Platt' shook his head a lot!

Ah yes! Must tune in tomorrow to find out!
