Dd1 loves a bit of bonding time with me but everything we liked to watch together is finished!

We've watched:

The Apprentice
Great British Bake off
Call the Midwife
Big Ballet
Outnumbered

I know The Apprentice and GBBO will be back but can anyone recommend anything good in the meantime?

Dd (10) and I love bonding over utter trash too. Dance Moms and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo are our absolute faves and I make no apologies for that whatsoever!

I would like to watch Modern Family/ Big Bang Theory but there can be sex references in there which I'm not quite comfortable with us sharing just yet. At 12 I might feel differently

Goggle box has loads of swearing in it!

She also likes the Simpsons

She might like Friends, I've never seen it, all that relationships stuff zzzzzzZ.

DD1 has a friend who likes it, DD1 also falls asleep when it's her turn to choose the video. She much prefers Buffy that another mate brings to youth group.

Dame you can't do that to the poor OP Grin

My 12(now just 13y) likes top gear and QI (lots of which is doggy, but she has a big sister).

She also likes property programs, grand designs and especially DIY SOS (spends her life building houses on SIMS).

She also likes come dine with me which is utter trash.

The most civilised things she watches are Dr Who and Sherlock.

Meant to say that they are judged by proffesionals (who set the task each time) and one is knocked out every week.

It's on BBC3 tues but is on iplayer too for repeats. It's a bit like bake off/sewing bee in format in that talented non professionals have to design hairstyles and showcase their abilities. It's very good!

We watch Big Bang Theory, Simpsons, Pointless, Countdown.

We also still watch a few things together on CBBC - Dumping Ground & 4 O'clock club at the moment.

We're also looking forward to the return of the GBBO.
