Eastenders' selling point when it started out in the 1980s was that it was 'true to life'. You couldn't move for people telling you, constantly, how 'true to life' Eastenders was.
Eastenders is no longer true to life. How many streets do you know in London where all the inhabitants are best mates (or worst enemies), have interbred to a worrying degree, work on the same poxy market stall and drink in the same pub? (Does no-one work in an office, other than Bradders?)
How many times have you been drinking in a London pub and had the wide boy from 3 doors down asking you and everyone else to stop talking so he can announce to all of his uncles, aunts and second cousins that his wife has been shagging his brother?
Not the London I know.

Agree with Deal Or No Deal, not that I ever watch it as i'm always at work at that time.
Also agree with Top Gear, haven't bothered watching this series and Clarkson and Hammond get on my tits.

Big Brother - they seem to be avoiding controversy this year. When it is controversial it gets my attention but the producers get in trouble eg the Shilpa Shetty racism thing. When they play it safe it is boring as fuck.
