Oh yes remember Take the High Road a time in my life when I sat down for an hour or so to switch off between work and picking up the children from school I watched that and Neighbours, The series abruptly finished without any explanation, although I think it was still shown in Scotland. A friend of mine complained to ITV about that, ostensibly on behalf her mother, but actually she was an avid follower of the programme too.
I also visited the place where it was filmed around Loch Lomond I believe on a family holiday, husband and kids moaning and groaning all the while in what they considered my batshit, time wasting quest!
I don't watch any daytime tv anymore, only Four in a Bed when it's on, late afternoon.
