Eastenders nothing can be that bad I haven't watched that since about 1988/89
Trying to remember what was happening when I gave up. I think Arthur Fowler was going mad, Nick Cotton had come back for a spell, maybe Gillian Taylforth had been raped ? early 1990s maybe |

I'm hoping that 2017 will at least be a little bit more lighthearted than 2016.

I caught an episode a few months back on the home from the dentist, and it was mainly about selling eggs.

There was a lot of spousal abuse, coercive control and stabbing in self-defence too. A bit out there for the Archers, but compelling and terrifying.

You? Apparently at new year in 1916/1917 Tsar Nicolas remarked on what a dreadful year 1916 had been and how 1917 was bound to be better.![]() Quote:

i didn't get any of that, i got half an hour of high anxiety about a sign on the gate about eggs for sale. I will admit it was compelling though.

Ah, you gotta love DS.
I've never heard the Archers. I might have to check it out. I've been mourning Ronnie and Roxie Mitchell's deaths and listening to some Leonard Cohen - but I've still not cheered up.

I've never heard the Archers.In the mid 1950s the BBC did a spoiler on ITVs opening night by heavily trailing a massive event was going to happen in that evening's Archers episode was it the death of Grace Archer in a fire ..........I think I used to listen to intermittently in the 70s when I was a student, it was a bit of a kitsch thing to do amongst layabouts............
