The Soap Section chill out thread
For those of us who (sometimes) like to talk about non smutty stuff.
You can talk about what you want but it would be most appreciated if people could please try to keep the smutty talk to a minimum so that other topics don't get lost amongst it. You may also post at any time day or night. I do hope the mods allow this thread as they have done with the other through the night thread. |

Good evening Retro,
I, like you only watch EE, well that's a lie I do watch Emmerdale again but am not expert enough to comment along with others on here on that one ![]() I have wide and varied interests from history, psychology, travel, cookery and some literature to comedy, drama and smut (I will omit it on this thread though as asked )Lovely thread let the debate begin

I love the 'older' comedies my favourite being Allo Allo with my favourite man, Herr Flick. I favour the older music too, hence the funny username, fave decade is the 80s with my faves being PSB and Madonna. I like swimming and go three times a week and am a member of Slimming World where I have lost two and a half stone. But that's enough about me! Oh and sorry to hear you've been having a crap time hope you feel better very soon. |

Crack on Retro!
I love all the main soaps and also watch Pobol y cwm and general hospital, but generally float in out with them, I haven't brought inside soap in years, use to buy in religiously back in the day, I'm more of a boxset watcher now, currently feasting on buffy s7, my amazon prime stick is a godsend! I love documentaries, crime programme are my fave, anyone seen the amanda knox one on netflix? I'm a a make up and beauty addict, their a large community on facebook and youtube, I love watching men do their makeup they seriously have some skills. Music wise I like folky type music The Staves, Florence & The Machine type bands, although I don't mind mainstream either. Thats all I can think off for now. |

Great idea Retro. I hope it takes off. Being an oldie I'm often at a loss when it comes to chat. I remember when I watched the very first episode of 'allo 'allo, I went into work the next day telling everyone they must watch it because it was fabulous and we were all hooked within weeks, and loved talking in very bad French accents.
I only watch EE these days but watched most Soaps at some time or another. Saw the first episodes of CS and EE. |

I hope this thread will thrive as I want to do my bit for all the people who wish to discuss topics other than mucky stuff, not that I've banned the mucky stuff completely but I want to get a more balanced discussion going so I created this thread so good luck everybody! |

I LOVE the wonky french accent, Crabtree is one of my faves along with Herr Flick (who i absolutely adore) Lieutenant Gruber, (i say Gid moaning to people all the time) Everyone is welcome the more the merrier and it will keep this thread going! |

I didn't think you would be long before you posted as I don't think you were too happy in the other thread were you? You're always welcome here especially if Madonna talk is on the menu! |

I'm with Little Monster. The other thread felt too much like a gang only certain members were welcomes into so I never bothered posting in it. This one seems like it will be better.
Speaking of old comedies I adored Keeping Up Appearances. I also just finished watching the entire One Foot In The Grave boxset. I love how whenever Mrs Warboys appears you just know something bad is going to happen to her

But i grew up mainly with US sitcoms so i have really only discovered a fair share of british sitcoms quite late in my life. I also love Dinnerladies, Ab Fab, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Vicar of dibley and Porridge. In terms of modern day british sitcoms, I have only ever liked The Inbetweeners and Raised By Wolves. |

No i didn't enjoy it at all. Thank you for the welcome
![]() I was ill last month and spent 2/3 days watching the whole series of Keeping up appearances. Such a great show. Hyacinth is one of the greatest comedic characters ever. I got into Are you being served this year. Love it. Wish i had discovered it earlier. But i grew up mainly with US sitcoms so i have really only discovered a fair share of british sitcoms quite late in my life. I also love Dinnerladies, Ab Fab, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Vicar of dibley and Porridge. In terms of modern day british sitcoms, I have only ever liked The Inbetweeners and Raised By Wolves. Raised By Wolves is that the one based on Caitlin Moran book? |

I don't know if it based on a book, but i know it is based on her childhood.
and I thought Young Hyacinth was dreadfully unfunny but thought the casting of Kerry Howard was spot on. |

I think they was trying a different angle less comedy but a kind of in between drama.

Oh and sorry to hear you've been having a crap time hope you feel better very soon. I bet you're very pleased with your progress so far. I've lost one stone eight since the middle of August (I used to be about two stone over a healthy weight so trying to get back to the healthy category).

It is really heartwarming to read all the positive remarks in this thread.
Yeah I'd definitely recommend Allo Allo to anyone who's never seen it as it's such a well written and hilarious programme and I do have my favourites but every actor/character does an amazing job! ![]() ![]() Other comedies which make me laugh out loud are Only Fools And Horses One Foot In The Grave Open All Hours Porridge Fawlty Towers Keeping Up Appearances Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em It Ain't Half Hot Mum Hi De Hi Steptoe And Son Citizen Smith Birds Of A Feather Dinnerladies Early Doors |
