Daytime TV

[Aberdeenplotter]

Isn't it just the pits. Tried watching it for a while as the Vine is a bit quiet but it's enough to send a delicate soul over the edge.(I'm not delicate btw).

On the positive side, I've spent about an hour listening to youtube reminding myself about some of my favourites e.g. Garm Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Also listened to a few Seekers songs. Btw, Judith is now over 70 and had a brain haemorrage which thankfully she has recovered from. Her voice was something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ga9Bs4fzSY

Now watching Wheeler Dealers, same one that was on yesterday

What do we pay our money for ?

Back to listening to the Seekers.

I have to suffer day time TV when I go see my grandad. Some of the programs are so bad they are funny!

Tried the steam radio AP?

For daytime TV, if there's no decent sport on I end up switching to BBC News or BBC Parliament. I have it on the computer while doing other stuff.

I don't watch daytime TV but I can imagine how dire it is from witnessing some things my elderly relatives watch and I'd rather sit and stare into space than do the same.

Can you not get iplayer or itvplayer to watch something of choice on catchup? Or watch a digital movie or dvd? I like listening to audiobooks or reading.

That's how I got to youyube

I download my favourite music and songs from Spotify and then when i am stuck indoors I play them all knowing theyre all the songs I love.
And its free.

Youtube is great, i watch so much on there, and atleast you can find what you are interested in.
Lots of gardeners on there and i love seeing other peoples plots.

As someone who doesn't watch any soaps, I often feel the same about the evening programmes

[Lisasbolt]

If you have a smart TV, you can watch youtube through there, you can always find loads of tv episodes, it is how i manage to keep up with the one or two things i am interested in watching from the UK.
E.G masterchef, bake off and and and errrrrrrr i think that is it oh i did like the allotment challenge

AP I am doing some decorating, if you come over I will paint a section of my wall and you could watch the paint dry, I am sure that would be better than watching telly

[noviceveggrower]

I must agree with you AP daytime TV is really bad. Why would you want to go on national TV to air your dirty linen is beyond me. I don't watch the soaps either, they are just depressing.
OH has got You tube on at the moment and is listening to Stop that train by Clint Eastwood & General Saint. Just had Public Image Limited on a moment ago.

I have to say AP you have wonderful taste!!!!

Judith Durham along with Dusty Springfield when she was singing with the Springfield's two of the finest female voice's of the last century, both just so natural.

I cannot listen to the likes of the Leaving of Liverpool or the Eriskay Love Lilt without a tear rolling down my cheek. So many, many memories.

Another song would be Island of Dreams, I first heard that on a juke box in a café on Wollaton Road Beeston. 1962 and a fresh faced apprentice I had just carried the tool bag from Bramcote and my fitter treated me to a cup of tea before another 2 mile walk to Beeston Rylands.
