We would never dream of watching celebrity stuff. Some members of our family loved I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Such drivel we thought.
Then in a bored moment we watched it. We are hooked!

Location, Location, Location, unmissable! I love it and wait eagerly for each new series.

I also enjoy those 'You are what you eat' programmes and even, if I am up late and too tired to go to bed, the American 600lb dieter/gastric op programmes. if nothing than to stare at the tiny abrupt, expressionless doctor with the improbably dyed dead black hair who features in them..

But the one I can watch again and again is Location, Location, Location.

Ooh Lucca! I’m intrigued!

I must admit that I enjoy a bit of blackhead action.
Those YouTube things are very relaxing if you stumble on the right one.
I like it when they put that little prodder thing in, and the blackhead squiggles out.

My not so secret vice is watching Turkish dramas, with English subtitles. I am now almost fluent in Turkish. I even had a go at the Turkish version of Wordle. wink

Beautiful Scenery, fabulous homes (imagine a Turkish version of Dynasty) , tall, dark handsome men, beautiful elegant women and lots ot twists and turns in the plot.
Much more exciting than the Korean ones I used to watch.grin.

The medical dramas are so much better than Holby or Casualty and of course the doctors are very handsome too! ?

Please keep this a secret, between ourselves, I would die if my friends found out. It is pure escapism for me on the days, when I am too unwell to do anything.wink

I might have to PM you as mine are really embarrassing!

But I’ve had the odd look at Say yes to the dress….
I watch Corrie.
And Holby

However a good series I watched about 8 ? Years ago that wasn’t rubbish and I’d love to see again was Mary Queen of Shops with Mary portas.

I've got a liking for Dinner Date on ITVBe. It fascinates me.

Hello!

Others say ‘guilty pleasures’, but I’m of the belief that no pleasure should be guilty; unless you’re talking along the lines of crack cocaine or casual violence.

My recently discovered rubbish de jour is Curvy Brides Boutique.

I used to love Celebrity Big Brother.
The fourth series with Pete Burns, George Galloway, Preston and Chantelle was absolute perfection.
I don’t think that I’ve enjoyed anything on TV more.

So, with Curvy Brides Boutique, I realise that I have set the bar rather low.

DH rather enjoys those ridiculous programs featuring members of the British police making absolute dipsticks of themselves.

What daft stuff do you enjoy?
Thank you smile
