What's good "on in the background" tv for working from home?

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

Meetings on Zoom aside, tv in the background is fine for most of my tasks (some tasks it's bloody necessary as it has its dull parts).

Since March I've re-watched The Crown, a friends, Modern Family and Big Bag Theory.

I tried Gossip girl and couldn't get away with it.

Those of you who have TV on in the background what type of work or tasks do you do? I can occasionally have radio 4 on or a podcast if I'm doing something repetitive but I really need science most of the time. I wonder if it's my brain or the type of work I'm doing?

I can do pretty involved work while having the TV on. I'm used to working in an open plan office and listening to mindless chatter about what people are eating for lunch, their piles or last night's Eastenders, so a bit of TV chatter doesn't distract me.

I like tv on in background not for working but when doing mundane household tasks

For background noise will working I have music or radio

Four in a bed.

I have RV on depending on my project, I'm a graphic designer though so different than average work and I couldn't have anything on if I had to write.

I have watched the friends series again, before that McClouds Daughters

I do wonder what kind of work people are engaging in if they can watch the telly at the same time?
I know it's common in operating theatres for music to be played, but I'd be wary of going under the knife if I knew the medical team were all watching (say) EastEnders.

I agree it depends on the type of work you do.
Any work that involves using language centres of the brain- writing for instance will be hard if you are trying to watch a drama.
My work involves making craft items, so cutting paper, tying ribbon etc, and a lot of repetition of a task, so I can easily listen to a podcast or watch a documentary.
Planning to listen to Dicken's Christmas Carol this week.
