This is more of an MSN discussed thing but other people might watch it.

Needless to say, it is the greatest show on earth. I don't mean that in an ironic way, it honestly is. They think a suitable bit of character development for a kid who might have autism is to get him to randomly say I PREFER FIGURES, IT'S MORE ACCURATE and then never touch it again. As far as they're concerned, that's done, they've set him up for an autism storyline one day. It's the soap opera Jas Mann would write if he had the chance.

Hopefully we can have some ongoing discussion. But to get the ball rolling...

Michelle is coming back! Uh oh, Steph's thighs are going to have arun for their money.

Apparently it might be moving to ITV because the BBC don't want it anymore.

You better be joking.

American soaps are all a bit weird aren't they? I thought it was corporate executive love scandals and loads of make up. English soaps are "gritty" and as realistic as possible. and shit, dont forgte shit.

Neighbours is in a class of its own.

You should see the adverts for Neighbours in this country, you'd think they had Quentin Tarantino guest directing or something. My mum and sister are obsessed with it, although admittedly it only has Home & Away to compete with (which is shit over here too)
I do watch it occasionally, that chubby goth looks so out of place. Rachel is definitely the nicest of the lot. Her brother looks like the result of inbreding though. Bad casting.

**potential spoilers**

At the moment everybody is excited because this old woman is coming back into it. The adverts are portraying her as this evil supervillain set to shake Ramsey Street right up, but she looks like a softcore Pat Butcher.

Oh yeah, there is a set of episodes (you probably haven't had it yet) where Karl and Sue end up in London and every shot of them talking has some sort of tourist attraction in the background, just incase you're not certain where they are. They meet Julian Clary and Michael Parkinson too, it's completely ridiculous.

Have you seen that London episode then? I saw some screen shots of it, but it hasn't aired here yet.

BILLY V2.0 · Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:57 pm

Yeah, my sister called me in all excited and said Eddie Izzard was on the telly. Cretin.

Do you honestly look at Neighbours screenshots in advance? That's low, Talbot.

This London special is gonna be a joke, they've decided it's worth fucking up Karl and Susan's seventh attempt at their relationship by getting Izzy to turn up saying she's carrying Karl's baby. You know what that means, don't you? It means Neighbours will have Izzy fuck off after giving birth then bring Karl Jnr back in 5 years as a teenager.

Also, Stingray's gonna die which let's Dylan move in on Sky. Out of all the timmons, Stingray is the last fucking one to kill off. What fucking purpose does Brie serve except fuel Zeke's fucking annoying exploits, face it, no amount of years at stunner camp will save her. Oh well, like the hedgehog I named after stingray, he's soon to go
