• sit on the lap of the character of your choice. (I think you'll find Kevins is already taken).

• get a home visit. (Almost guaranteed whatever your ailment)

• have Jimmi, Heston or practically anyone else provide free detective work.

...or you could just wait around to be screamed at by Gobby.

How can you resist?

To explain to any newbies , this is a very friendly thread that welcomes any fans of the afternoon soap called 'Doctors'.

I'll post the list of commonly used acronyms in a minute but they aren't compulsory, honest!

Do you think it's a murder mystery Christmas do Biscuit?

I hope so! Either that or one of their fantasy episodes. A bit of extra WTF for our Christmas treat!

Good resolution Horsemad.

Biscuit a full day at pre school. Yay!

I may miss Mondays live due to an appointment. Gah! Tuesday is bingo. Wednesday is looking dodgy... Damn!

Biscuit you'll be able to start off with Heir Hunters, then Homes Under The Hammer - break for an hour for a bit of respite (missing that Gloria Hunniford prog about trading standards or whatever it is... and also Cash In The Attic). Then onto Bargain Hunt, BBC News & Doctors, followed by Escape to the Country if it's on

Biscuit Don't watch This Morning on a Friday. Bloody Eamonn Doughface Holmes and his wife.

The Wright Stuff (Channel 5 9.15am) is good for a laugh, depending on what dopey panellists are on. Clashes with Jeremy Kyle though.

Did someone mention Jeremy Kyle?

I won't be watching him next week. It is all Xmas specials. Can't be doing with it.

Escape to the Country makes me irrationally irritable for some reason they have more money than me

Jeremy Kyle Christmas Special? Is Santa going to be on for a DNA test?

Don't bother with the Mel Sykes lunchtime thingy. All prerecorded in August from what I can gather and Gino D'Campo is well annoying.

Escape to the Country is really depressing. They always have fussy buggers with loads of money on. And you never know whether they bought it or not.

Sparkling I know- the en suite bathrooms are usually bigger than my house, but it's never enough. They never buy-like 'Escape to the sun'or whatever itwas called- just a jolly at the expense of the BBC. Ditto, 'Wanted Down Under'.

Over the past 2 and a half years, I have become an expert on daytime tv.

Heir Hunters cracks me up. It is a 5 minute programme,stretched out to an hour. And they are little more than ambulance chasers With Lisa Faulkner sounding ever more hysterical by the tedium as it progresses.

at Santa DNA test. Unfortunately he transforms into his do gooder alter ego so it gives me nothing to point and laugh at.

Dickinsons Real Deal was worth a watch but I think they altered the time.

Heir Hunters is very odd Raahh. Lots of sitting in cars and wild goose chases. Then knocking on doors before any other Heir Hunter gets there. Tis weird.

I had to stop watching Wanted Down Under I was so cross. The best bit was the value of their houses in the UK (watching their faces drop) and the awful houses they could afford over there. Neighbours it wasn't.

Some of the 'experts' on Dickinsons Real Deal' are um, interesting.

Wanted Down Under generally showed a family with a DH that wanted to emigrate and a DW that didn't.

Always confused me when people wanted to emigrate somewhere they hadn't visited!

Sparkling are you referring to the chap with an accent, an open shirt and lots of jewellery? He is weird!

Possibly MsN, a bit effeminate?

WDO was ridiculous. The crying over the DVD of the family back home was just awful.

'A bit effeminate'. Understatement of the year

I was trying to be nice. Most of the experts come across as being totally uninterested in the offerings don't they? Then old mahogany face appears and it 'goes to Oction' as he says. And gets less than the expert offered.

Mahogany face

I hate HUTH when they buy to let and only do the minimum required for a refurb

Much prefer when they are going to live in it themselves and do a lovely job!

Best bit about HUTH is seeing how bad the bloke presenters hair is that day.

(I have suddenly realised I need to get out more).

I like it when the blonde lady gets all cross because the buyers haven't looked inside.

I love HUTH , we watched it religiously when I was off with dd3. It became her nap time. I want to work on Heir hunters cos I'm nosy

They are such scruffs, the blokes on Heir Hunters. Like they failed to make it as used car salesmen,or loan sharks .

Don't think there's going to be any problem keeping this threwd going over Christmas is there?

I think that there is in fact only one episode of HUTH because every time I watch it's the same one, Dave from Huddersfield who looks like an amateur but is an experienced developer and his wonky end terrace with the blue kitchen.

I have just looked at my calendar and realised with horror that I am not going to be able to watch any of the episodes live this week - I'm working two longer days instead of my usual three mornings and helping in school on the other three afternoons. Boo!
