I'm southern therefore I've never seen Coronation Street.

Damn, the cunning plot to rot southerners minds isn't working.

I've lived in the north for 13 years and in the south for 13 years but I've too much taste to watch any soap, so my mind is still uncorrupted

[MikeH]

Are you one of those people that doesn't watch reality TV shows either?

[Dauphin]

What's reality TV?

[Demerzel]

I generally don't - my housemate loved to watch Big Brother I, so I got a healthy dose of secondary-viewing. I certainly won't watch them for the fun of it.

Like the "Salon", what do people see in that? Is it gossip related or something? Otherwise from what I've seen on adverts...

"ooh watch her cut that bloke's hair! wow!"

only things I really watch on TV are good ( American ) dramas / comedies really, e.g. West Wing, ER, The Dead Zone, Frasier.

[MikeH]

I've never seen The Salon, that's a bit too bad even for me.

24 is the best thing on at the moment I think.

[Demerzel]

24's first series was on when I was never in or available to watch it. one thing I'd like to watch but haven't been able to yet, so obviously watching the 2nd series ( or even seeing synopsis which have series one info in ) would be a bit of a foolish move.

[MikeH]

Not really, I came to the first series late, about 6 hours in and it was still great.

That said, you could get it on DVD or something. It is excellent. And Kim Bauer is very foxy.

A sympathy for the Brits is in order. I just read how they managed to prevent electing members into House of Lords and other wonders of british democracy. I think getting rid of monarchy would be first step to a modern 20th century Britain. After that, we can talk about 21st

ah yes us "Brits" are just escaping the coal mines and the child slavery days of the 1990s. If we're lucky, then maybe women will be allowed to vote soon and even more unlikely, rotten boroughs might be abolished!

[MikeH]

Women vote? Ridiculous.

[Dauphin]

I prefer the good old days when only land owners could vote.

[MikeH]

That means I couldn't vote, I could march on London with my pitchfork and a burning torch though.

[Demerzel]

I prefer the good old days when the country was a pure monarchy and the King had ultimate power. Who needs rights? Let the King lead us to glory!

Now you're just being silly.
