View Full Version : Why on television do they......
Why on TV do they never have anything in their suitcases and fling them around as if superhuman?:confused:
Why don't they ever eat crisps or peanuts (or hulahoops) in the Queen Vic and The Rovers Return?:eek:
Why dont they ever buy new batteries for the clocks in soaps... they always show the same time?:mad:
Why in soaps do they never use their mobiles in a crisis, only run to a phone box which is out of order?:idea:
Why has Grange Hill got a huge influx of Northerners; because it is in North London? (They wouldn't do that in Byker Grove with people from Bristol, Cardiff or Birmingham):(
Why do people always order taxis to go anywhere? Do you?:rolleyes:
Got any other whys about TV? :D

Grange Hill has moved to Liverpool (but no-one makes any comment because they're all meant 2 b presuming they're still in London)
Why in Neighbours do the Scullly family only have one mobile phone, which is yellow and passed form person to person depending on who needs it in a particular scene?
Why IN Neigbours do they always have the same music playing in the coffee shop and the pub?
Why in any soap do people never just sit opposite each other on a table!!! And if there are 4 of them they will all crowd around one side of the table! Well I know the answer but it's funny anyway!

ah its like in east enders they all get a taxi wherever they go even though they have cars
they all do their washing in the laundrette even though all the kitchens you see have washing machines
they are in the pub every night/day so must be rich and all constatly drunk
they all do their shopping in the market never anywhere else
Why in nearly every soap, i.e Neighbours and Corronation street, is the home phone always a white chordless one.

i don't my mum does and if i'm having my dinner I have to put up with them on, thats why i notice all the same things as I don't watch them all the time but notice that they always have the same music and so on!
They must have juke boxes in the pubs like real ones and people choose the same songs; just like real pubs.

All the more reason why you should keep the dining room separate from the living room

i think that means another good reason not to eat dinner infront of the tv, so you wont have to watch the soaps

why can't people in soaps actually act?
why do we export our crappy soaps to the UK and not get corrie or eastenders in return? (well not that i want to watch them but we only seem to get decent british shows while we keep you poor brits suffering with neighbours and home and away)
neighbours is the worst show since....sadly i can't think of a show that's worse than neighbours.

such as....??? Neigbours is great, how else are you meant to get reassurance that everything will turn out right if you just run off with your sister's fiance? It worked well enough for Holly Vallance. Ahh the things soaps have taught us: No need to eat at home, Lou's Place is always open! Need a new house? Make sure you check on Ramsay St, either someone's moving out or Lou has a spare house. It's all so simple!

country practice, knotts landing, falcon crest, flying doctors, eldorado...oh gawd.....eldorado, sons and daughters, cross roads (and that one has risen from the dead), and for any of you who watch irish tv there was glenroe and still hangin in there fair city, high road (scottish) not to mention every cookery, DIY and vet bloomin' show.
i got sky in last year, funny though just after i returned to swimming having not swum since self teaching about 5 years ago. come to thnk of it watching me swim will probably entertain you (those of you with a decent technique) more than most of the above programs.
