One of my good pals is the same. I pointed out to him one day that almost ALL the actors he watches on TV are now demised! (He used to always be watching something called GOLD?) this was a few years ago.

But it was all Last of the Summer, Dad's Army, Open all Hours, stuff like that.

I only see selective bits of UK TV now (and don't have time to watch more than I do even though I can access it on the net via VPN)

I disagree there is not much worth watching on these days. I am currently enjoying some super stuff put out on the BBC.

I have a short attention span where TV is concerned so prefer half hour, light hearted stuff which seems lacking these days. Most of the comedies these days seem more slap stick which I can't abide

Much prefer a good book to be honest

So do I. Last weekend when OH was away the TV never went on from when he left on Friday morning till he came back about 7pm on Sunday. Didn't miss it one bit.

Oh my gawd this is literally what I watch! lol
I love Gogglebox, my favourite on the show is the little dachshund with the posh couple
And I love 24h in A&E and One Born Every Minute

For me its not telly or books. Its both! Real books and books on kindle. I've downloaded another 4 today. Read a whole book today ... half while sunbathing and half in the bath. I multitask all the time!

I have TV on all the time I Am working online. My job would be very boring if I didn't have something else to listen to at the same time. I oust on this forum while I'm waiting for stuff to upload to the web!

And my viewing tastes are eclectic. Anything but soaps. I detest soaps.

I remember Fawlty Towers, Monty Python AND Benny Hill...official dinosaur. Nowadays repeats of Law and Order:SVU, South Beach Towing and Mysteries of the Museum. Otherwise I read far more than watching TV.

I'm really enjoying HINTERLAND on iPlayer at the mo can't wait for the next episode.

Also HAPPY VALLEY. But then I'll watch anything with Sarah Lancashire in it.

Something I would like to watch sometime is "Orange is the New Black". The book was entertaining and the show was a hit. I'm just not even sure what Netflix is, not very techy.

I loved 'Orange is the new black'!
I hope there's a new series coming out soon!

PS: netflix is a streaming website that you can subscribe to. In the UK it's £5.99 per month and you can watch loads of films and tv programs online. You can watch it on your laptop or smart tv or wii (I'm sure there are more).
I really like netflix as we don't have a tv connection

I like Happy Valley too which surprised me cos the title seemed a bit Naff.
