Page 1 of Eastenders...what a big, fat bag of absolute knacker cheese!

I hate that pile of uninspired vomit - with a passion!

Am I the only that`s absolutely mesmerised by the fact that...

a)
People watch this endless, mind-numbing dross and consider it credible.

b)
Writers` actually get paid (yes, it`s true!) to conceive such tripe, tripe that I`d generally associate with someone who is totally void of any imagination whatsoever.

Sorry, just venting...but it does beggar belief!

To have such an opinion I presume you watch it???

If you do, then you might be familiar with the button on the remote control that changes the channel.

If you don`t, then how can you opine so strongly on something you don`t watch??

Sorry, just making an observation ;-)

No, fair point.

I personally don`t watch it, but I have, occasionally, found myself in situations, with friends & family, where I have had the misfortune to endure the afformentioned pap.

Believe me, the `off` button (I am quite familar with this tv function) has never been so tempting in these very harrowing situations.

Even more tempting is the hammer in the cupboard, thankfully common sense usually kicks in at this point to remind me that it`s actually my TV.

I have to agree how pooey it is. I`ve seen better acting at a primary school play. My missus and eldest daughter p*ss me off the way they get involved with the inane storylines. Still it gives me an excuse to surf the net and check out DVD Reviewer!!

The frightening thing is its one of the BBCs biggest exports so no wonder johnny foreighner thinks we are a load of manic depressive,alcoholic,thieving lowlife with everyproblem known to man.
There again maybee we are?

I think it`s unfair to pick solely on Eastenders, which does have the one redeeming feature of.... hang on a minute, what am I saying? It has NO redeeming features! However, it is not alone. Every soap-opera it has been my displeasure to watch has been a "big, fat bag of absolute knacker cheese!". Although at least the Aussie ones have some fit women in them.

It is the best of all the soaps (which isn`t saying a great deal).

I personally don`t watch any soaps but I have watched the odd episode of Eastenders.

It has by far the best production values. Coronation St. is cheap `n` nasty, Emmerdale is well ....just pants and Brookside is full of thieving Scousers.

Just my opinion....

Hollyoaks is the best soap going. Has a mixture of fun and serious story lines, and has the biggest ratio of fit women: no of cast.

Some of the girls are stunning, it makes it worth watching just for that.

I`ve been watching EE for many years but think it has gone downhill the last 6 months - the Slater stories are getting stupid. How much bad luck can one family have?

And as for Janine Butcher eating the dog food - I think we may see her on TV ads soon "Is your dog as fit as a butchers dog?".
