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

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

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 don't think you can describe British soaps as anything BUT a wasteland.

I meant TV across the board.

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

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.

It's on its final season (season 15) and has about 5 episodes left... With no air dates . 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.
