Dr Who!

The apprentice!

non-tester - Gogglebox is a favourite

Have had Sky for a year and cancelled, so use Freesat, and own 3x Now TV boxes (on 2 accounts), just using Entertainment at present (from 'starter pack' coupon with box bought in sale at 12.50) and previously had Now TV Movies for about 6 months.

None tester here: different ages, with the younger ds we like to watch you been framed or similar, and Flash.
With the older ones, we watch things like A Haunting, House, and Criminal Minds.

Non tester. Definitely Dr Who. While we were living with the inlaws we needed to watch it on catch up (as MIL doesn't like to watch it), now we're in the new house, it's on a reminder so we don't miss it live!

We always watch x factor together :)

Non tester. Me and my 2 teens always sit down to watch Downton together on a Sunday evening. Everyone enjoys it and it's a great way to end the weekend.

for us its the Doctor...doctor who, we religiously all sit together to watch the series

Doctor Who

We love to sit down on a Saturday night and all watch xfactor together.
When the little two are in bed, we will also sit and watch gogglebox with the eldest DS .

Dr Who is the one programme we all look forward to sitting down and watching together. The scarier it gets, the tighter we cuddle on the sofa!

Saturday night is our family night. Pizza , snacks & diet coke for tea. Strictly & then Dr Who on the TV!

life story - simply magical

Thanks for all the feedback and comments - am pleased to say Tonkatol wins the YouView box! Well done.

Non-tester – we try to watch Strictly Come Dancing together. It's DD1's (7) most favourite thing – the sparkly dresses and everything. The rest of us watch to enjoy her excitement but DD2 (3 months) also seems to like the sparkles.

The x factor

Non-tester

We all sit down and watch Strictly Come Dancing. My 6 year old loves it and has to re-enact the dances while we are watching

Non-tester. Doctor Who

Non Tester. We always watch The Apprentice together!

The X Factor

i'm a celebrity get me out of here!! normally one or two of us hiding behind cushions when the eating trials begin urgh!! :/

Non tester. The program we always watch as a family is Doctor Who. It's funny, and not too scary or too adult. We also like to watch the big snooker tournaments. I'm not quite sure how that happened, but if we have nothing planned, cuddling up on the sofa and watching the green baize for an hour or two is very relaxing. Family meditation time!

Non tester here - we make a point of watching X Factor together!

We love to watch Dr Who together.

We always watch Downton Abbey together. A fabulous series which we all enjoy watching.
