GUILTY pleasures, TV programs you make a point of watching

[Walter]

but you know you shouldn't

mine, Coronation Street.

what's yours?

[Aruntraveller]

It used to be the Street but I've weaned myself off it over the last couple of years.

Would Holby City count as a guilty pleasure?

It certainly bears little resemblance to a real hospital or the people who work in them. For a start they all seem liable to contract or develop very unusual and rare conditions on a regular basis. Despite this complete lack of realism I am hooked.

[Walter]

I stopped watching it for that same reason, plus I kept getting it mixed up with that other one.

[Jack Knave]

I only caught the tail end of Red Dwarf XI. A little annoying - I know it'll be round again.

 

[Brownie]

I like both.  Just saw the Street.

Re-runs of The Bill.

I take pleasure in watching lots of TV programmes but I don't understand why anybody needs to feel guilty about any of them.

Big Bang.

Doctor Who - all of it. I have all the DVDs, but still watched the re-runs on the Horror channell. BTW, the animated DVD of 'Power of the Daleks' (Troughton) is released next week. (The actual episodes were deleted by the Beeb, but the soundtrack survived)

Agree there.  I don't feel guilty either.

I love Strictly Come Dancing.

They still kept ep 2, didn't they because they used part of it for another prog & that's ALL we have of Power.

They still kept ep 2, didn't they & that's ALL we have of Power. [/quote Apparently, the DVD released on the 21st of this month is entirely animated (like underwater Menace, but as far as I know, better quality). If the animation is half as good as the missing ep recons of "The Invasion" and "Web of Fear", it should be worth a watch. Next stop 'Macra Terror' or 'Marco Polo', I hope (Hey, I can dream). You can already download 'Power' from the BBC store. http://www.doctorwho.tv/whats-new/article/the-power-of-the-daleks-dvd-artwork-and-extras-unveiled/

I went to mock The Good Wife. I stayed to admire it.

I enjoy Casualty and Holby City, having watched them from the start. I don't think they are guilty pleasures though.

Oh yeah, me too, didn't miss an episode.  I was gutted when it ended.

Crazyhead - I know it is aimed at a younger audience (being on E4) but I stumbled on it and, surprisingly, I kept watching.
