Bargain Hunt and the dreaded Judge Judy which my husband is addicted to.

EastEnders for me too Sassenach I can't bear it.

I love Corrie though which is much easier to watch and quite funny at times. Maybe its the North South divide, I don't know.

My late grandad would never watch the BBC news as he called it the tory news. He only ever watched ITV which was of course the labour news. Silly man.

It's the EastEnders theme tune for me Maw and that bloomin man with the parsnips harping on about buying insurance for his funeral sad

For my late father, it was The Archers theme music, which he referred to as the “dum- de-dums “
At the first notes he would do a Usain Bolt across the room to turn the radio off.
For me, I’m afraid it is The Listening Project.
Intrusive? Boring? I don’t know, I just can’t stand it.
