It’s that time of year when soaps are starting to build their storylines up to Christmas. Soap fans across the country are already trying to work out what the big story lines are likely to be this Christmas. Will Stacey finally come out as Archie’s murderer?
Well, we’ll all have to wait until we are huddled round the television on Christmas day with our turkey sandwiches and mulled wine to find out. But in the meantime, it does mean that there are some cracking storylines happening in soap land at the moment. With Billie’s death haunting Albert Square and David facing a prison sentence in Coronation Street, the script writers are definitely getting us in the mood for some big story lines this Christmas.

There is no such best reality programme, it all depends on your taste. Some people prefer X factor over Britain Got Talent where as others prefer to watch extreme sports. It really is a matter of choice. I like to watch movies and which is why I have Sky movies package installed at home. This is a cheap way to see top class movies at your convenience.

Big brother has been one of the famous TV programmes where all you have to do is to adjust with other people and if you are lucky, you win jackpot. Many reality programmes are providing opportunities for small TV stars and this has turned to be successful. With so many other reality programmes such as X Factor, Britain Got Talent, Dragon’s Den & Apprentice, you can virtually spend as much time as you wish. Many other countries like India have also started programmes similar to these. these reality programmes give chance to general public to show talent and make TV channels billionaire.

Now a days, you can stream virtually any film on-line. You can do a Google search for any film and can find out the links. These films do have bad quality and because of such things film industry is losing a lot of money. Please be careful when you go to any torrent website as most of them contain viruses which will not only infect your computer but might also steal personal information. You could lose confidential data or there may be even chance of identity theft. There are so many options available for films now a days, why not sign up for LoveFilm and get films delivered to your door. It only cost £10 a month and with free postage you can make sure you don’t end up spending lot of money.

People are far more interested in reality programmes than going for soaps. The reality shows provide a lot of entertainment and moreover provides opportunity to show your talent. X-factor, Britain Got Talent, Apprentice are few reality programmes that attract a lot of viewers. Since these programmes are on free on air, you still need TV license to watch them. With monthly cost of £12 , I think its affordable. Another cheaper way to see your programmes without actually paying is to watch them on BBC iPlayer which contains last 7 days recorded programmes. If you miss them even on iPlayer, then youtube is a place to search for recorded clips.

BBC’s iplayer is one of the most watched websites in UK. If you love Wimbledon but have missed a match, you can watch that on iplayer and hence make up for lost time. Only limitation is that it records programmes only for last 7 days but you can stream it as long as you are under that time-scale. With so many viewers, it’s unbelievable how in such a short time, it got so famous. BBC iplayer website is easy to navigate and is simple to browse for anyone. Choose the programme you want to watch from list of categories an hit the play button. Now iplayer even contain few programmes in High Definition.

I love going out to the cinema; from the big seats, dark room, massive screen to the popcorn and other members of the audience sharing in the experience. It is a great night out.
But with staying in being the new going out, how do we combat this? Films on TV are notorious for being a bit dull; by the time the films are on the small screen, they have been out for public release for some time (albeit at the cinema or on dvd, etc). This means everyone tends to know what they are about already – so where is the suspense, the drama, the unknown?
The advantage of films on TV is that they tend to be a comfort to us; the traditional showing of a Bond film at Easter, The Snowman being on over Christmas, that kind of thing. The timeless classics.
How many of the films going through the cinema in this day and age will still be as popular in 10 years time?

Over the last few years, a lot of the soaps have been going all out for the anniversary shows – either there 2000th episode or 50th year on the air – and the way to do in this day and age is live TV. Most recently, Eastenders used it’s 25th anniversary to broadcast live the killer of Archie Mitchel.
In a plot line that has taken months to develop, even the actors themselves didn’t know who had killed Archie. The producers carefully let a couple of clues slip out (most noticeably, the hairbrush at the Vic clue), but very, very few people thought it would be (look away now if you do not want to know!) Stacey Slater.
But is this method of broadcasting any better? I think yes. As good as the shows look when they are well rehearsed and taped, the thrill of knowing the actors could really fluff their lines is brilliant TV!

I spent the weekend at my Mum’s, and was amazed at the amount of TV she watches these days. Once upon a time, she would go nuts at me and my siblings for organising our time around our favorite programs, but now this is what she does! Oh how the tables have turned!
The usual arguement we had from Mum was that “it will rot your brain”, etc etc. But apparently, that’s not true anymore (thanks for the info Mum!), and TV is actually very educational. I asked if this was the case when she was watching her soaps, and she said that although they weren’t directly educational, they helped her relax and was therefore good for her.
Well, I can’t disagree there Mum!

The first ever episode of Coronation Street was broad-casted live on December 9th 1960. Since then, millions of viewers have regularly tuned in to see the trials and tribulations of the various cast members who have graced the beloved small screen that is Corrie. Over the last 5 decades, there has been 120 deaths on Corrie, with around 80 of them being premature (i.e. murdered, accident, suicide).
Now, this little statistic makes 66% of deaths in Corrie an unnatural one… So why do people live there?! I must admit, that in my small little town, very few people die, and I have yet to read about a muder, although we have had a few fatal car accidents.
So why do soaps have such a high mortality rate?
