God bless Sky+. For a toddler's parents, getting a turn to watch there favourite TV programme is virtually impossible. Recording their favourite programme on the other hand, is just a few clicks away!
God Bless BBC - for the pure, unadulterated joy of watching a very interesting programme on TV - uninterrupted. This, by far is the single most reason I so love BBC. And of course the quality of programmes.
Some of C's and mine combined favourites are from BBC - The Sherlock series, Dragon's Den, Top Gear, News, MasterChef, Andrew Marr's History Of the World ( and The Paradise- on my list only and the Great British Bake Off on C's list only) to name a few. Also on recording is Richard Hammond's Miracles Of Nature. But yet to establish a fan following. Homes Under The Hammer is a good change too. So is Flog It ( but only sometimes!)
BBC iPlayer is yet another blessing - never were the long journeys to work so appealing!
Sky too has some interesting stuff going on. We are enjoying Elementary , and Grey's Anatomy might come back as a favourite - but its too early to tell. Game Of Thrones series - really well made. Definite watch (for me).
Channel 4's Grand Designs is another of our picks. There were times when we would watch back to back episodes late into the night! Location Location Location and A Place in the Sun are on the list too.
Discovery's best picks for us are How Its Made and Myth Busters. Even little K enjoy's it.
The usual suspects - sitcoms - are my territory only. There have been on and off recordings of Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Scrubs - but I tire of them after sometime.
Movies - we enjoy our Hindi movies. But, they are a pain to watch when just as the hero takes a sideways look at the villain and... Sunrise Kitchens offer you a huge selection of designs and materials!!! Can't stand the adverts.
But once recorded, C sits readily armed with the remote, and whizzes past these annoyances in a fraction.
Now you would think, hmm.. that's a lot of TV these people can manage to watch.
Well, there are a few things we enjoy together - and watching TV is one of them. Thankfully, C n me mostly share the same viewing interest, so watching something together and then chatting and discussing it later gives us the much needed 'us' time after a day spent at work. That, and The Great British Weather, make watching TV our favourite pastime.
