To me there’s always a void that needs to be filled for everyone by some sort of entertainment and weekend TV that’s actually good helps people get through Sundays and quiet Saturdays. That’s why part of me feels like they should’ve kept screening Corrie and Emmerdale on Sunday evenings. Those two soaps are over-saturated in number of episodes these days but again it’s just about having a certain something to look forward to throughout the weekends, and a lot of people really love their soaps. Sunday TV never used to be as crap as it is now.

Oh I am going to give Strictly another chance due to liking most of the Show's seasons.

And I agree with you about the Soaps actually, despite it not really being my genre, I do think that putting Shows on over the weekend that some people might be interested in away from Sports and Reality TV is a good thing for variety.
