For wanting a light hearted soap on telly?

As it says on the tin really. I don't want anything mushy or sappy or brainless, but I miss watching soaps and just enjoying a good storyline. Most soaps seem to be trying to outdo eachother with misery porn storylines and it's just not relaxing or fun to watch- in fact they stress me out!

Am I being silly?

Sorry to disappoint you, @Squirrel134, but Bad Move was ditched earlier this year, they're not making any more.

We really liked it, Jack Dee and Miles Jupp were brilliant in it.

I'd be happy with each soap being only two half hour episodes a week.

Comforting quality you say?

Oh I’d love a light hearted soap. I used to watch Corrie decades ago with Ena Sharples and bin man Eddie. Made me howl. Now soaps are full of misery porn. We used to watch them for escapism. Now it’s all anguish, dreariness and unpleasantness.
