I don’t really watch television. After being married to a man for many years who would turn the TV on the minute he got up, and it would remain on until after I went to bed, I’m afraid TV kind of lost its appeal. Even after Andrew died, my son took over responsibility for the remote control, and on the rare occasion there was something on I wanted to see, I rarely got a look in.

I’ve always been the sort of person who turns on the TV for their programme and turns it off again after. The advent of watching on demand was warmly welcomed by me, I rarely seem to remember to switch on at the actual broadcast time.

I think I’ve only watched two television series so far this year. I rewatched Channel 4’s It’s a Sin, which I have to say was absolutely superb. Such poignant storyline, beautifully acted. The 80s score completely made it. The fact that I wanted to rewatch it speaks volumes.

The other series I watched was Call the Midwife, which to be honest I’ve followed since the beginning. I may not have seen every single episode of the many series, but I have seen enough of each series to know who’s who and what’s going on. For that reason, I would say Call the Midwife is my favourite viewing. It’s probably the only thing on TV I make a point of actually watching weekly. It’s had some amazing characters and subject matter over the years, and I love the nostalgia.

But generally, I rarely watch TV.
