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

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

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

Not really interested...

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
