"ITV does that stinking, sodding Coronation Street until you get brained out. Then the BBC comes out with that stinky, slobbing, cliched, mindless moronic EastEnders,"

[ummmm]

There are millions who would disagree.

[Mamyalynne]

That will be why they haven't lasted.

[mccfluff]

if you enjoy the programmes then why not. i think its snobbery to put people down based on watch they watch.

Steven Berkoff, strange selection of adjectives from a so-called intellectual

[gingejbee]

Isn't SB being very selective in the two programmes that he's chosen to criticise? It's not as if it's the whole output of the two channels.

"Steven Berkoff, strange selection of adjectives from a so-called intellectual "

maybe its so that the majority of the sort of people that watch that kind of stuff can find it easier to understand.

just because theyre watched by so many doesnt mean theyre good, look how many people follow religion, and thats just as much garbage based on fairytales and lies.

i'm guessing they have some of the channels highest audiences...beats me as to why though

Don't be so condescending or patronising....there are many millions who can't all be wrong !

I find the uproar amusing if they dare to put a football match on, especially when you consider its on almost everyday with lots of "catch up" episodes and the weighty omnibus!

[mccfluff]

but these two programmes have some of the consistently highest viewers

if all these people choose to watch either programme then SB is ob in the minority and dare i say it, up his own arse just a tad

and no, i don't watch them as i don't like them lol (but i do watch plenty of rubbish telly)

[craft1948]

I'd go with fluffs 'up his own arse just a tad'.

But then why should I be bothered what SB thinks...............

haha...yeah right

Never heard of Berkof or whatever his name is,tell me what YOU watch baz,just in case I am missing something.

[nannybooby]

personally I agree , but its popular with a whole crowd of people - everyones different !

[Mamyalynne]

People watch television for any number of reasons, not all of them need to be taxing to the brain or educational - what on earth is wrong with a bit of escapism.

Intellectual chewing gum. And look at how many millions of people chew gum.

[Everhelpful]

Agree with you,Mamya.

[sherrardk]

I watch both Corrie and Eastenders. People are free to say what they like about each programme but they can keep their opinions of me to themselves.
