For me, the two biggest switch offs have always been Mrs Brown’s Boys and the Archers. Don’t get me wrong. I love the Archers’ intro music. ‘Dum de dum de dum de dum. Dum de dum de dum dum.’ But that’s where it stops. I’d rather listen to the shipping forecast. Around 15 years ago I worked with someone who actually claimed to listen to the Archers. Really!
Even though I’ve never been big on soaps. I am still impressed by the way programs like Coronation Street and East Enders draw me in. Even when I don’t like the characters. It was the same with the Jeremy Kyle show before they took it off air. It just grabbed my attention. Such a shame that it’s gone.
