I was genuinely surprised to see Sister Monica Joan because I thought she was already dead!

In spite of the schmaltzy content (and characters that get on my nerves - I'm looking at you, Turner family) I do still watch and enjoy it.

Call the Midwife is so far past it's sell by date. Can't believe two more series have been commissioned. It's saccharin on steroids.

We haven't watched Call the Midwife yet although I intended to. However, Stenders was brilliant.

Yes EastEnders certainly lived up to its hype didn’t it?
Can’t believe it was back in February when we had that taster of what was to come over Christmas.

For me it went on too long tonight, not enough content really.
Unlike Eastenders. Wow! I'm still processing it! 😲

I watched most of it too. I don't know why because I've never followed the series and if this is anything to go by I never will. It was beyond twee and I'm pretty sure it bears little semblance to the reality of the time. I realise it's supposed to be "feel good" TV but I'm afraid it just made me feel the opposite.

Just watched the Christmas special.

Feel like I have swallowed a whole bottle of golden syrup.

How many more times is Sister Monica Joan going to predict her end is nigh?
