Just that really. Do you like dramas, comedies, soaps or documentaries for example?

Listen to r4 generally in the day. I don’t have Netflix or sky. Tv turned on for evening news. We don’t go out in the evenings so pre plan tv programmes in the evening. Usually dramas and documentaries.
I Have never seen big brother, lost in the jungle get me out of here type programmes, but did enjoy Race across the World.

Usually a couple of hours, 8-10 pm. I only watch films and drama. A mix of Netflix, BBC IPlayer, Prime Video and lately U (I like the Marlow Murder Club). During the day I listen to the radio via BBC Sounds.

I dont watch many tv programmes.
Soap opera coronation street.
Enjoying family at war on Talking Pictures.
I tend to watch You Tube more either on Tablet or the TV.
I have my favorite vloggers on there who i follow, about their travel experiences.

I never watch reality shows, soaps, daytime gossip shows like Loose Women, Saturday night television, and sports except for racing, the occasional big football match and the Olympics. What I do watch are dramas, factual programmes, local news( not so much the main news these days), repeats of old comedies, and loads of Youtube content.
I think Youtube is the ultimate television channel as it has so much content you can choose. You want to download an episode of a seventies sitcom- hundreds are available- and you have an obscure interest like making saki, someone will have a video available.

Regular watching; much less than I used to, but if there’s a programme or a series I try then find I like it, I’ll happily binge watch in the evening.
Love wildlife documentaries, stuff about the American Civil War and Death in Paradise.
Only game show I watch at present is The Bridge.

I like losing myself in TV progs - Detective series and Quizzes during evenings and Tennis during the daytime when it is on live.

Documentaries, and I do like the Yorkshire Vet! I rarely bother much with drama series any more - so often disappointing and/or too hard to follow.

While often knitting in the afternoons/evenings, and can’t follow anything with a plot (or I’ll go wrong) - I will admit to having become mildly addicted to Police Interceptors!

Usually I watch the news at 1pm BBC then again at 7pm Chanel 4.
I enjoy Château DIY and Yorkshire Auction House.
Yorkshire Vet, The Dog House and Dogs Behaving (very) Badly.
I am interested in documentaries and enjoy good drama, especially Walter Presents..... excellent foreign language drama.

A lot! We are catching up with 'Heartbeat' never saw it first time round! Very nostalgic. I love quiz shows, favourite right now is The 1% club, I like Lee Mack. Also like anything archeological and Lucy Worsley's programmes. I watch a lot on my own as husband spends a lot of time in his study playing his concertina.
