shysal You might find you like some of the programmes you list if you give them a chance.
I must admit, I've sometimes made the decision with films that I won't like them and haven't bothered to watch them. I decided, after seeing a spoof of it by French and Saunders which was very funny, that I would hate the film The Piano. But when I actually saw it many years later, I enjoyed it. Ditto Castaway - what could be more boring than one man marooned on an island? But when I eventually watched it, I loved it.
I watched Gavin and Stacey for the first time the other day and didn't like it much - don't think I will bother again,
Ditto Mrs Brown's Boys
On the other hand, though some of the the humour in the first series of Fleabag was way beyond my comfort zone, I enjoyed it nevertheless.
Lucca I love the Sewing Bee too and it is the last thing I would imagine myself enjoying. I was useless at sewing at school and had no interest at all in dressmaking.
