Hurts to say it, but I also have express my stark disappointment at your televisual taste, GJ. Eastenders, Corontation Street, Emmerdale? - ban the lot of 'em and force feed some decent drama or even the odd documentary upon the glassy-eyed, downtrodden soap watching masses. "'Ere, leave it art Kaff!".

Favorite Eastenders moment in the future: Any cataclysmic disaster that flattens the whole place and everyone in it:D

Hasn't anyone sent a plane into the square yet??? God this is the most depressing programme EVER! [:?]

OMG, this site just gets better and better. The High Life is cult TV - what a fantastic series, and made all the better by the fantastic Shona McSpirtle [y]

There was one called Mile High too

http://www.amazon.com/Mile-High-Complet ... B000LW7L0O

The High Life was a FANTASTIC show - one of my faves.

Was Mile High on Sky One? If so, I saw about 10 minutes and thought it was dire. It made the "actors" on DreamTeam look like Oscar contenders![n]

Kinky;)

Do you really think it the MOST dull? Nothing has been duller? Come on, Attitude23...be honest.

Ok I have maybe happened upon one or two programmes that have been ever so slightly duller than EE, but these were one off's, EE has been consistantly dull for over 20 years now, there is no character that is an outlet for humour like in the other soaps.

Also as a proud notherner (yes fellow V-Flyers, the North does exist[:w])Coronation Street was always my fav.

nb: pls note I do NOT watch any Soaps
