TV without soaps

[Amy Jade]

with most soaps down to about 2 episodes a week has anyone else noticed how crap the TV is?

I think all I've watched on normal tv all week is Bake Off

[Beso]

[Kate!]

Yes Amy. Really missing the soaps.

Crap is putting it mildly , TV has been diabolical this weekend and if i have to watch the bloody divvi Danni Dyer and Perf one more time ....How the hell could they torture us with that on lockdown .
Hope her 'career' is over after the worst ad in donkeys !

Omg i'm cracking up, i've been perfed once too often.

It’s actually dire, it’s worse than when the football takes over

[Wizard.]

Yes I'm just watching Real Housewives episodes they're close enough

[Jake.]

I don’t watch soaps and I think tv’s simply dire. Pretty much everything I watch now is on demand.

Well i demand get bloody Danni Dyer and her perf for Surf sunk to 2000 fathoms ! is that deep enough for someone so shallow ~ she sinks that low for money

[Beso]

The fish has been on fir ages now and I've just noticed it's on..I actually turned it on to watch it.and forgot.

Oh, that’s Dani Dyer doing those adverts?? I had no idea. They’re very annoying

Soaps are terrible and miserable so if anything it's a bonus

Chris Tarrant has said it's mostly fiction/comedy hasn't he?

Not really interested...

It's well made
He goes to jail

[Morgan.]

I only watch Emmerdale, but oddly enough having it on only 3 nights a week has made me look forward to it more than I would when it was 5. I just think watching 5 a week is tiring - this way I much prefer.

He actually got a suspended sentence , so did she, and they got their fines reduced , since delared himself bankrupt for 4th time.

It's not just soaps, all scripted shows are going to be delayed for several months if not a year+... It's going to be streaming and re-runs of existing shows for quite a while.

Thankfully there are a lot of good shows already out there... And plenty worth a rewatch.

[Jigs]

Netflix has been a life saver in these dark times~

[Greg!]

I miss gorgeous EastEnders :(

If it was spread out across the week it wouldn’t be too bad but only airing on Monday and Tuesday followed by a 5 day gap is AWFUL

[Cherie]

I’m quite enjoying Monday, Wed, Fri and just one episode :omgno:

[Rob!]

I think it’d do the soaps the world of good to go down to 3 eps a week in terms of quality. This might be an interesting trial period for it. It is weird without them on every night though

[Mystic Mock]

If you like Shows with a Dramatic flair to them then I recommend watching Violet Evergarden on Netflix, it's a Japanese Anime, but it's very well made imo.

[Mystic Mock]

And speaking for myself, I've been checking out my first Gundam Anime series + Deutschland 86 so I'm doing fine for TV.

But then I'm not a Soap man anyway.

Many never watch crappy soaps so wouldn’t even know the difference

Ive enjoyed the Hollyoaks classic episode (Although i wish they would show older episodes and stop showing ones from last year)

TBH im surprised they havent started showing them on More4 or something after the success of the other classic soaps

[Marsh.]

If you think it's bad now, just wait until in 6 months time when all the stuff they were supposed to be filming now is not ready and the TV is a wasteland.

I meant TV across the board. :oh:

Soaps are made so quickly they'll be the only new material on in 6 months. Everything else will be delayed.

Everything else will be delayed.Most things are already delayed tbh, and the best part is that everything was right at the end of the season production schedule so most shows are missing just the finale or maybe finale and penultimate episode :joker:

E.g Supernatural is at the very end of its 15 year run and production on the finale isn't finished. I mean it's not funny for those involved I'm sure but on the other hand, it is quite funny.

Supernatural is ending? Feels like it's been running most of my life. :joker:

Supernatural is ending? Feels like it's been running most of my life. :joker:It's on its final season (season 15) and has about 5 episodes left... With no air dates :joker:. No post-production done and I don't think they even filmed the finale before lockdown so it'll likely be...? A year?? The things that have filmed and just need post production done (quite a lot of US shows) will be out as soon as people can go back to "office based work" but things that haven't filmed yet... I think it'll be quite a while before they're given the all clear for filming. You can "social distance" in an office, you can't on location or in a studio.

So, are they airing all of the episodes they have bar those 5 or holding off on most of the episodes until they can air all together?

yes like the walking dead season 10 finale, that is in final stage of post-production so once people can be back in office for last editing details they'll also announce a date when they plan to air it (and they already mentioned they'll air it as a ''special'')

Stranger Things season 4 is also in post-production phase so just editing details for all episodes, so same there, once cleared to go back to office they'll announce release dates after too

Stranger Things was still mid-way through filming so they still have a way to go not just on post-production.
