We missed a lot of episodes last year since we were so busy with so many things and didn't particularly care as I remain surprised why this sentimental treacle which is really just a soap opera is so popular amongst young and old it would seem. It's now become something we might watch for lack of anything better to do. But, I am happy that the BBC is making piles of money out of it as that means more great BBC stuff at some point.
Perhaps there will be some new wonderful television like Breaking Bad sometime soon.
