How Many Hours Television Do You Watch and What Do You Watch

Recovering from op and I am binge watching Downton Abbey. The costumes and acting are superb.

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.

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.

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!

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

All sorts- I like a good drama, documentaries, bio- pic if it’s done well.
Just watched Yellowstone which was fab, then the follow up 1883, absolutely brilliant.

Today I’ve watched about an hour of BBC Breakfast News and a football game, we’ll watch another game later, then I’ll catch up with Monty from last night.

I use Youtube more than anything. I can find plenty of interesting things on there and there are repeats of television shows that haven't been shown for years. Regarding terrestrial television, I mostly watch dramas, intelligent game shows like Jeopardy, local news, antiques programmes and old Top of the Pops. Never watch soaps, reality shows or daytime gossip shows.

It varies. Some days I don't watch at all. Then I'll binge-watch series like "Resident Alien," "The Pitt," "Big Little Lies," & "Loki." I binge-watch anything with Alexander Skarsgård or Tom Hiddleston. Also a fan of old movies with Bogart or Cary Grant. I avoid news programs for the same reasons I don't have a Twitter/X account. Mostly I read.

Have BBC1 for breakfast, for about an hour. Then at lunch time watch an episode of Classic Doctors (on iplayer). CLassic Casualty whilst I have my tea. At about 7.30 settle down for evening with my knitting and use catch-up tv for any of the 'cosy murder type series'.

This way I only watch the very dismal news once a day, in the mornings. Have it on radio (BBC 1) at 6 pm - just about all I can take these days.

Upto recently I had a Humax on which I recorded things I wanted to watch to be able to see when I wished. That has given up the ghost and I have now been introduced to catch up tv and finding it pretty good. Still rarely watch anything when it is actually broadcast (except that one hour each morning).

I do feel that we are so very fortunate being old in this day and age, when there is so much entertainment available from our armchairs. Tv. is very important to me and do go to pieces if, for any reason, it is not working. But enjoy radio and audio books and my kindle.

I still feel that I need to be doing something else whilst watching tv - and the evenings are my happy knitting times.

I like quizzes such as Mastermind, Only Connect and University Challenge. Also Richard Osman's House of Games. I enjoy Would I Lie To You?
Favourite dramas are Heartbeat and Call the Midwife because they are mostly gentle and set in “my era”!

Me too！😁

I tend to watch travel and nature programmes - Michael Portillo, Great Canal Journeys, Emerald Isles, Mortimer & Whitehouse, The Good Ship Murder. Tales from the Riverbank has been interesting - I’d like to hire a boat on the Thames. I’m always attracted to water!
At the moment though, I’m hooked on ‘Meet the Rees-Moggs’ on Quest. I find Jacob R-M fascinating! He’s on another planet! 🤣 He seems very sincere, but he hasn’t a clue how ordinary people live. He’s just a product of his upbringing.

Ashleysnana I like talking pictures too! There are lots of good films and dramas.
I have the tv on a lot as company really. Occasionally I'll look up and start watching something. My choice would be a film or crime drama. Or top of the pops on BBC4

No television but I quite recently started watching things on the iPlayer. I don’t watch any drama, only factual programmes.
I have the Channel 4 app but can’t bear the advertisements so usually switch off after 10 minutes.

Probably a couple of hours a day, sometimes more if I’m hooked on a series. I watch dramas and films and the occasional documentary.

Watch GB News first thing then maybe leave it on for noise while clearing up. Later watch Ancient History Documentaries if on or have Planet Rock on while reading. Evening mainly News or again Documentaries. Boring aren't I?

The only TV I have watched this year was Strictly, with a friend. Never switch it on.

When doing work I need to concentrate on , nothing , all is switched off …tho I occasionally listen to music then.
PS : I live alone and hate housework!

When doing rote work it’s on all the time. … usually from c 2 pm to end of day.
I watch / well mainly listen, with the occasional glance up, to the news, in particular CNN, as I have ‘ Trump Derangement syndrome’… HATE the evil s *. ( I’m British in the UK btw) .
But also Crime dramas, the occasional comedy , rom com etc, depending on my moods. The odd documentary, and Opera! A pretty eclectic mix. Usually end the day with CNN due to the time difference, as that is when you catch most of the ‘new’ news!
