Very little prefer the radio, always did.

My favourite is Google Box, love Giles and Mary.

Record Midsomer murders, have probably seen them all before but can never remember the ending now lol

Also quite like Classic Coronation Street, again record it and watch on lazy afternoons but often fall asleep, I've never been very good at watching tv/movies

I have my TV on a lot whether I watch it is another question Living on your own I either have the radio or tv on I don’t like silence it’s company I do all other things while it’s on ..l read
(but very poor eyes don’t make that comfortable for long periods)I sort out paperwork, pay bills, do jigsaws (always one on the go) drawing, writing etc etc while watching and sometimes I just chill out and get involved with the programme I don’t watch much in the day unless it’s bad weather and I m stuck in or if I m sick or something it’s mostly 6 pm onwards (if. I m stuck in I like Judge Judy she makes me chuckle) summer coming so I ll be out digging my allotment swimming or walking on the beach

As to watching I like Corrie and Emmerdale then dramas and real life crime, News, quizzes, BGT, Traitors and stuff like that
I rarely go out at night these days only on special occasions and so TV is my friend and my entertainer

Rarely more than an hour a day, very little interests me nowadays, I prefer to listen to audiobooks or podcasts.

Me too. I dont have a television at all. I also love to read.

Maybe 2 hours a day maximum. I watch the news while I eat breakfast for half an hour. Then maybe one episode of a drama series in the evening.
Just finished the Bay and started the new Sean Bean one

I don't watch it much, tend to catch channel 4 news if poss, the politics show whilst having lunch, and any documentaries about archeology - Alice Roberts is a fav atm or Bettany Hughes - or anything with Simon Reeve.
OH likes the footy, England on tonight, but not many matches are on the telly.

Much less than I used to. The occasional history programme or documentary. Some crime series but tend to do those on catchup so I can watch a couple at a time. I actually prefer reading.

Certainly more than I used to. I enjoy history and anything to do with the natural world. Now the summer is coming I hope to be out of doors a lot more. But currently I’d say about 4 hours a day.

I tend to watch a lot of documentaries....if I see a classic film is on I'll also watch that if it's an old favourite.
Soaps and comedies, never.

I also enjoy a good drama series i.e Happy Valley.

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