Out of interest, what are everyone's likes and dislikes? For me I enjoy factual programming the most, followed by comedy, drama and sports like tennis, racing, golf, cycling, athletics and combat sports. My main dislikes are soaps, reality shows, most modern entertainment shows, daytime and team sports( won't go near rugby, football or cricket).

BBC1 -
The Apprentice - truly cringeworthy at times, but strangely watchable!
Question TIme - the old stalwart's just finished another run!
Rest of the year I'll be watching Strictly Come Dancing, Masterchef/Celebrity Masterchef, Football League Show, Have I Got News For You, Apprentice USA...
BBC2 -
Mock The Week, QI, Mastermind, University Challenge, Great Railway Journeys, Coast, other odd documentaries...
ITV -
X Factor, BGT, The Chase, Dickinson's Real Deal...
C4 -
Come Dine With Me, Four Rooms, Three/Four In A Bed, other odd documentaries...
C5 -
Ice Road Truckers Dangerous Roads, odd documentaries...
Other -
Lizard Lick Towing (Dave), The Saint, New Avengers (ITV4)...
By no meands exhaustive, and I am not one to NOT watch a prog. just because it's on a certain channel!
I avoid the Big Brother/I'm a Celeb brand of reality programming and "controversial" shows about things like dogging. Dreadful.
Awww...lol...did you enjoy it? My husband and I have started a little recap/review podcast of TNA. He's been watching wrestling for years, but I'm fairly new to it. I enjoy the sort of camp value it has and when you get some quality wrestling in, as well... Its really good fun!
What I tend to avoid like the plague are daytime shows, which seem often to be aimed at couch potatoes.
Actually I did enjoy it - it was a good laugh!
Excellent trip down memory lane - especially the current run from 1978 - and check out the TOTP thread on this forum!
I do as this is one of my favourites. BBC Four is one of the best channels and isn't all opera and intellectuals like some people think it is.
Million Pound Drop.
I liked it at first,then I realised there was an age/intelligence level bias toward empty-headed 20 somethings.
They had a few older people on at first but then they realised they were taking too much money off them because they went to school before the education system went to sh*t.
I love the big entertainment shows - Britain's Got Talent, X Factor and I'm A Celebrity I watch every year. I enjoy watching Big Brother and the Apprentice too. I also love watching Four in a Bed on Channel 4 too.
The only soap I watch consistently is Coronation Street, though I do catch Emmerdale and Hollyoaks when I can too as I think they have good storylines and characters.
I also love crime dramas and drama in general - Silent Witness, Law and Order UK, Poirot, Endeavour, Lewis etc. I watch a lot of ITV3 as they show some great classic dramas and crime drama. I also love watching classic episodes of Casualty and The Bill. I like watching BBC4 on Saturday nights when they show the foreign crime dramas. I love Spiral and Wallander.
I can't stand Come Dine with Me, Coach Trip or any of the other lifestyle shows on Channel 4 though. I also don't watch the scripted reality shows like Essex, Made in Chelsea etc. I don't get the appeal of those shows at all. I can't stand EastEnders or The One Show either. Or anything on BBC3, apart from Russell Howard's Good News.
