Other than Sons and daughters:
1: PCBH - A great series, only have episodes 300 to 400 ish and those in the UK DVD release. It was entertaining from start to finish, fav characters are Nola, Kath Maxwell and Bev Baker.
2: Big Brother
3: Cluedo (when gameshow was on, this was brilliant - maybe it's a childhood thing?) Have all 25 episodes of this.
4: Neighbours - Started watching it at uni, and from then on have been hooked.

Well back in the 80's my other fave tv show was TJ Hooker. Had a massive crush on Adrian Zmed (Officer Vincent Romano). I remember going on holiday with my family and my dad bought a national newspaper and there was a lovely pic of Adrian in his speedos and I cut it out and kept it under my pillow the entire holiday. Well I was only about 13 at the time!!!! ;D I love Big Brother. Watched it since the very beginning. And it's running till at least 2010. Now I love watching Home and Away, Prison Break, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Hollyoaks, Casualty, Shameless, and the list goes on and on and on. I'm suprised I have time to go out socialising!!! lol

I find it interesting how you all seem to like Big Brother. Personally, I think it's the biggest load of rubbish ever to hit our TV screens. It's abysmal and, in my opinion, totally to blame for starting a rash of cheap, nasty and totally unoriginal "reality" tv shows that seem to be neverending these days. Once one finishes, the next one starts, and they're all crap. The people that phone into these shows make stars out of moronic, talentless idiots like Goody and the rest. Give me a good drama - well written, acted, directed and produced. Something that's had a bit of effort put into it, rather than live 24-hour coverage of a bunch of talentless monkeys. Rant over!

Yeah I didn’t mind cluedo we had an Australian version of the show years and years ago but unfounatly it was a huge flop you lucky buggers hopefully our big brother will run until at least 2010 and beyond but somehow I don’t think so because the media and particular family groups seem to have it in for big brother in Australia the prime Minster even said on radio to get the show of the air I wonder if john Howard and family groups have ever watched anything of BB if they had they would realize that it isn’t as bad as they think it is I really hope channel 10 ignore the critsism of big brother by family groups and the media who are simply jealous of BB’s high ratings and I hope channel 10 keeps showing new series of it

Apart from SaD I've never really been into soaps, but I'm a big fan of Desperate Housewives and love to see what they've been up to every week! I also like a lot of the US cop series, my favourites are L&O Criminal Intent, CSI (Vegas), Without a Trace and the Shield. But mostly I watch movies.

Loved Prisoner, but think it went stale in the last year or so - unlike Sons and Daughters. Also loved the Gentle Touch and C.A.T.S Eyes staring Jill Gascoine.

Yeah prisoner did go a bit stale in the last couple of years but it was still a great show and it had a great ending with the freak Joan Fergusson finally getting caught out

I loved (well, still do) Sons and Daughters, Dallas, Dynasty and Return to Eden. I used to watch Neighbours, but I stopped when I started living with someone. I stopped just after Cheryl died and Harold and Madge got reunited again after Harold was supposed to have died.

Do I remember "V"? - only the best mini-series of all time! I remember when it was first shown during the 1984 Olympics. The first part was interrupted by the news in the middle. I was so disappointed that the aliens looked just like humans I went to bed at the halfway point (I did have school in the morning!) The next day, my dad told me they were rodent-eating lizards. I was hooked on the rest of the show! I've got both mini-series on DVD and have just finished recording the weekly series off the Sci-Fi Channel. Brilliant stuff - how hot was Diana? She could out bitch any of the SaD bitches! ;D Well Prisoner goes without saying :-) Dr Who Blakes 7 "V" ( remember that? the lizards who took over the world?) Return to Eden ( i remember liking it but its more from memory now) One Foot In The Grave ( Richard Wilson is brilliant) The "House of Cards" trilogy (you may very well think that...but I couldnt possibly comment) RIP Ian Richardson

Kenneth Johnson wanted to do a "next generation" version. A kind of 20-years-on follow up. Jane "Diana" Badler was signed up to do it and then it stalled. They wanted him to do a re-imagining of the original...then that stalled. The latest I think is that the 20-years-on thing might be back on again but its ages since I read the posts. I think theres a new novel due out or something www.mindpulse.com/users/lizlady/kenjohnson.htm
