Caz 25 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hello Expats I was just wondering if there any particular TV programmes you miss form the UK. I am really rapt as we have cable TV & are able to watch Coronation St & Eastenders on the UK channel. There are also some great British comedy shows on there too. Not sure if you get much English content in Canada or USA? We are still 2 yrs behind with Coro but it doesn't matter,we watch it anyway. Caz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caz 25 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hi Admin Our Ena is definately dead as are most of the originals. Old Kenneth Barlow is still going strong & looks ok for his age,which is over 70 I think? but you'd know that anyway. We are pretty desperate over here for good TV,we get mostly yankee stuff & out of respect to the expats from USA I won't tell you what I think of it!! No you are quite right Black Ice "Rapt" wasn't on the card I sent you, it means I am very happy & as you can see it doesn't take much :lol: Cazza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin 21 Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Well those were the days when they had real characters in Coro' The only one I rate nowadays is Fred Elliott Coro is such a good subject it deserves it's own topic. Can you remember the original Characters. What were your favorite characters, or events in the street over the years? <POST REPLIES IN A NEW THREAD HERE> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caz 25 Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Lol! Well according to my sources some of the barmaids I named may have only taken over the bar for a few days or so hence the large amount of staff,but having a quick peruse of the names you posted they seem to match mine so i'm not too upset thank god i did'nt bother with the rest!! Looks to me like the original barmaids weren't included in your list,& I remember most of them so I know they were there. Had the drink gave me a headache Caz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colly0410 1,181 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Sort of back to front but the program I missed when I came back to Notts from Germany was Musikladen, (a sort of German Top Of The Pops) it had very pretty girls on it so I could have a good perv. However I've found some old programs on you tube... SWMBO drove me mad when we were in America as she watched Eastenders form yonks ago on PBS channel 2 every night, it was a load of old tosh like all soaps. I liked the old Benny Hill shows though, lol... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
