I used to work weekends before my children were born. Therefore, I would have two afternoons off a week. I would flop down in front of the TV and try to make sense of the complicated relationships in Sons and Daughters. In the end I gave up.

There were some really ancient programmes from Australia on in those days. Strangest of all was The Young Doctors. The acting was chronic and the theme tune tape was so old it used to sound like a bad school orchestra. The best was A Country Practice with a lovely middle-aged receptionist married to the lovely middle-aged local policemen with lovely doctors who would visit at home even if you only had a headache. However, I stopped watchin it when they killed off my favourite character, Molly, who was beautiful and gifted and popular.

What ever happened to Take The High Road? Paulham??

Good grief, insult me why don't you!?

What in anyone's name would possess you to watch such puerile drivel!?

Well, to find out about life in Scotland of course!! It was a step up from Dr Finlay's Casebook!!

Then I will watch Eastenders to see what what life is like in Cockneyland!

OK, point taken. I am a Londoner but not a cockney. I haven't lived in London for 16 years though. I don't think there were as many stereotyped Scottish characters in High Road as there are in EastEnders. At least High Road was nice and gentle and not nearly as miserable as EE.

Should we have been watching Brookside to see life in Robbie land?
