OK, I've seen numerous soaps come and go over my lifetime, but always wonder which ones Gransnetters watched and enjoyed over the years that are no longer with us.
My guiltiest pleasure has to be The Young Doctors, which became a cult thing when I was at school over 40 years ago. Think of General Hospital made in Aus in the seventies with even cheaper sets and some real ham acting, corny plots and a killer theme tune. I do recall one episode where a Rod Stewart lookalike( well sort of) came into hospital for treatement and behaved like a big head. Eventually he came good and gave the nurses free tickets to his concert. Cue, a couple of flashing spotlights, fake applause and cheering and some bad singing.
More seriously, I was a big fan of Angels, the BBC soap about yoing nurses that covered subjects like alcoholism, adultery and racism( 7pm as well back in the day). I can recall one episode where a Chinese nurse was mocked for being a virgin and, of course, loads of laughter from a group of 14 year olds who were watching Angels.
So what were your guilty soap and not so guilty soap pleasures back in the day?
What did you never own up to ?
