Saddo Soap Fans

 

I am indebted to Mrs. Boggs for pointing this article out to me That said, she deserves a cunting for reading this site on a daily basis, but I won’t do it myself as itmight make me go blind.

The site in question is called “Digital Spy” where fat lazy workshy idiots (but enough now of Mrs. Boggs) foregather at all hours of the day and night to emote.

The latest object of their tears was the occassion, thispast week, of the last of the present series of Eastenders. Their fans have been in mourning for some time now since th enumber of transmitted episodes has been halved to try to keep it on air. Sadly this week thet reached the end of the road – reason enough for wailing and weeping, but three simple words pushed some of the cunts over the edge:

A good job these soy boys and daft trollops were not such devout fans of Are You Being Served>, since God knows what would have happened on the last episode when they saw the caption:

“You have been watching”

Seriously there is so much in real life to be worried about, upset about – surely the temporary absence of one insignificant show shouldn’t cause such trauma.

Bring back Crossroads.

  1. Fucking hell Sharon is looking well rough since the last time I saw her……mind you she must have been about 19 then. She must be the worst actress i’ve ever seen……fucking useless as I remember.
    I like all the books and DVDs flogged on that site. More money for the BBC to spend on woke bullshit.

  2. Soap operas are the female equivalent of comic books. Unrealistic characters, ridiculous plots, and they go on forever, bringing characters back from the dead to boost viewing figures/sales..
    Anyone still watching soaps oe reading comics beyond the age of 25 is a simple cunt.

  3. Drooling, slack jawed halfwits, with an insatiable appetite for ethnics, bummers, bean flickers, soy boys,tranny’s and farcical plot lines.
    My Ethel is a prime example, and yes, she is a cunt .
    Toodleoo.

    • “Drooling, slack jawed halfwits, with an insatiable appetite for ethnics, bummers, bean flickers, soy boys,tranny’s and farcical plot lines.“
      But enough of the Labour Party.
      Evening Jack.
      😅

      • Good evening, Bertie. As a soap opera, Labour would definitely have a 2.30pm
        slot on Dave.
        First plot line, Angela Rayner tells Kweer that she’s up the duff, and has narrowed down the prospective father to one of forty seven BLM activists.
        Kweer is horrified, but Angela insists that Black Cocks Matter.
        Now showing at a care home near you.
        Get To Fuck.

      • 🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚💩💩💩💩💩💩🌚🌚🌚🌚💩💩🐵🐵🐵
        We’re here for the DNA results mr Kyle

      • More drama when Diane Abbott is caught embezzling Labour Party funds to pay to send Jeremy to a top London care home after he refused a peerage into the House of Lords.

      • Oh dear, Angela up the duff? That’s a bit Ruff x rough.
        Could it have been a Lammy double Whammy what dun it?

  4. One of the bonus features of Covid-19. The demise of shite soaps and severe limiting of ‘reality’ shows. Nothing to see here now, so why not fill the voids with a few repeats of Love thy Neighbour, anything with Alf Garnett or better still, hand the 9pm slot over to Bernard Manning. All good clean belly busting comedy.

  5. Unremitting misery, trendy ishoos, faaaaamily melodrama. Ridiculous mockney accents copied by uneducated chavs all around the country. If the BBC cancelled this hideous show it would be doing the nation a favour – after all they have nothing but contempt for the sort of “working class” characters portrayed in the soap.

    Don’t we have enough real life dramas to deal with? How could anyone in their right mind regard this boring shite as escapism?

    • The original stupid soap opera plot twist…..about two years storylines undone by revealing it was Bobby Ewing having a daydream in the shower. Or something.

      Fuck me, my dear old Mum was seriously into Dallas, but when she saw that she nearly stuck her foot through the TV screen. That was the last time we had to endure that show 😃

    • You’re right Cap’n. Hardly hum drum was it. Beautiful houses, cars, women and clothes. J R in his Stetson with that short stride walk. Cliff Barnes always pissed and behaving like a prick. Gold plated misery but often hilarious. I’m laughing just thinking about some of the stitch ups J R did.

    • The soap on the bathroom floor at Downton Abbey was a class act.
      Deserved a “Coal Tar” award (sponsored by Wright’s).

  6. Hopefully now people who watch soaps will realise they don’t need them anymore, which I doubt. BBC have been showing ‘classic’ episodes of eastenders. The one with Den and Angie arguing for half an hour. Apparently roped in about 16 million viewers at the time. Thats significantly more than Leslie Grantham’s last role, wanking in front of a webcam, which didn’t get its own series.

  7. Does East London even look like that now? Shouldn’t the Queen Vic be a hipster coffee bar serving fair trade Ethiopian Harrar in jam jars and stabby yoots circling the square on mopeds robbing smartphones?

    • Very true LL. If there was any reality to it, the characters would have realised how much their properties are worth and fucked off.

  8. Eastenders went downhill the moment they got rid of their best actor – Wellard!!

  9. I feel that working class soaps such as Deadenders and Coronation Shite are for people that simply haven’t got anything better to do but to live their lives through the depressing storylines dished up to them like much needed sustenance after a troublesome hum drum day. Simple, uneducated viewers will often choose a character to identify with and imagine they are just like that character during their own miserable day and then validate their lives by catching up with ‘themselves’ on screen. This then gives them a sense of closure by taking comfort in the fact they (the viewer) are not alone and bad stuff happens to Pauline, Grant, Sharon, Elsie, Arfur or whichever character they have an affinity with. In fact I’ve heard that soap addicts sometimes even believe that their favourite characters know them personally. Crazy shit it really is, but the truth is you are unlikely to find that busy, successful high achieving individuals are avid fans of such programmes or indeed have any interest in them. Imagine Peter Jones or Deborah Meaden from Dragons Den rushing their tea down to catch up on the next instalment of Corrie.

    I mentioned in another post that I used to watch Eastenders years ago, but I was young and used to find some of the early characters amusing. I’ve watched a few old repeats on BBC3 for nostalgic reasons but even after watching those, came to the conclusion that to waste time watching such a bunch of fictitious losers…is a cunt.

  10. Load of shite, apart from ‘take the high road’.
    Im a soap dodger.
    Happier with a book,
    Stay inside the lines now when colouring.

    • But those lines are black Miserable! In fact thick black! Its racist! See if you colour in a chinaman in yellow it clear. But the poor black man again its not clear where he begins and ends. And I bet you make fuzzy don’t you? You make the black man fuzzy at the edges?

      • Evening Miles!

        When im colouring in my far right bumper book of fun I use white power crayons, theres no black in the box!😁
        But yes I colour the chinamans face yellow,
        He has teeth like a beaver, a droopy fu Manchu moustache and a coolie hat on.
        I like historical accuracy.☺

      • Don’t forget the Eskimos (shh….racist!), Red Indians (shh….racist!) or cunts down under where everything is upside down (very true) 🙂

      • Fuck it, I’ll put this out there….

        Did I call you out in my rant? Yes

        Why? Here’s the rub….you are a very social, affable chap, both admirable traits. You are fun to read at times. Unfortunately, when you get into full stride, the noms have been getting lost in amongst all the chat.
        That was my reference to Facebook, which, from what I’ve ever seen of it, is multiple people yakking about nothing in particular. In and of itself, there is nothing wrong with that either, but it does get disrespectful to the poster of the nom for us all to blast off on a million tangents.

        I NEVER said people shouldn’t interact. ISaC is what it is because of us, not in spite of us.
        I NEVER said anything about suppressing free speech on here, despite what some have suggested.

        If ISaC is morphing into a more online chat type thing, then that’s fine too, I’ll happily join in. If Classic ISaC is still to function though, the noms have to have a chance to be debated.

        My rant garnered a mixed response, to say the least. ADMIN pulled me up on it, as did Dioclese. I cunted a fellow cunter, that’s way off the reservation, and I’m lucky they didn’t ban me. I know the rules and I accepted their rebuke. They also see no issue with the derailing of the noms, so again, the problem is mine, not yours.

        That said, others did vocally agree with my main point, that the chat was crushing the original noms, and on a regular basis. Others vocally disagreed, so the field was split on the issue.

        Make of that what you will. I said (on the Daniel Radcliffe nom) that I got it off my chest and I’m happy to move on. I don’t bear grudges, life is too short and I’m not getting any younger.

        Again, I NEVER, as some have suggested, said don’t chat, interact or have fun. Fuck me, we all need a laugh now and again. I have no problem with you or any other cunter.

        There you go, my effort at clearing the air and apologies to all for mentioning it again.

  11. People go on to digital spy to forefathers people talking bollocks about some made up shit? They really are cunts of epic magnitude, I would rather go to a mosque or go swimming with Michael Barrymore than watch that crap, thankfully we have isac to put the world to rights

  12. How can anyone watch soap operas with the madness surrounding us? Life is a soap opera.
    Hot Summer Nights. Anybody else too hot?
    Flaming June.

  13. What a bag of bollocks. Fucking Eastenders. On the odd occasion I’ve accidentally been exposed to it l can hear this faint popping sound as my brain cells kill themselves.

  14. Eastenders has the cinematography, acting skills and script depth of an A-Level drama class group project. It’s also constantly grey, everyone is depressed or pissed off, and they never seem to go anywhere beyond a 100 yard radius of the pub.

    What I really don’t get is that it probably resembles the lives of many of the diehard fans. Why the fuck would you deliberately choose to double your festering misery? Fucks sake.

    Watching one episode at 14 was enough to spur me on so I would never become like one of the wankstains in the show or one who watches it. Pathetic dreary cunts.

  15. All these wretched television “soap operas” should immediately be replaced,by law,with repeats of Dad’s Army.
    In fact replace the whole output of the BBC with the same.

  16. Eastenders. The place where they all have homes worth 4.5 million but yet carry on living like chavs. .

  17. Off topic but has anybody read Rod Liddle’s article about the police in the Speccie this week? It’s brilliant.

  18. I think soap addiction (if you can call it that) can also be down to age and circumstance. Whilst at college, I used you watch Neighbours, mainly because I fancied Daphne and Charlene (Kylie). Then in my mid 20s, I followed Brookside for a while mainly because I fancied Heather (Amanda Burton).

    Oh wait, it might have been because I was a raging perv.

    I did watch Eastenders for a short while (Dirty Den era), but nothing good ever happened. Life isn’t one bad thing happening after another. Good stuff happens too! I found Eastenders depressing after a while I gave up on it. I’ve never watched Coronation Street. The theme tune alone is enough to make you jump off a cliff. I imagine it’s a lot of flat cap wearing, greyhound racing, trouble at mill and being unemployed shenanigans. Said the cunt from East Sussex. Hahaha.

    • Morning IY.

      Don’t you lot have such masterpieces such as Days Of Our Lives? We have Shortland Street, a hospital setting for the usual suspects trannies/serial killers/rapists etc etc. You’d think seeing as they’re all in one building, that plod or Hospital Admin could easily weed out and arrest them. Pffft…..

      • And a merry morning to you, KC.

        OMG – day time TV over here is one after another. Days of Our Lives, Young and the Restless, Bold and the Beautiful, As The World Turns (I’m doing this from memory….which is scary), General Hospital. Erm…I’m out but I’m sure there are several more.

        Never really watched Yank soap operas. I know 2 things about them. 1) The women are mostly drop dead gorgeous. 2) The acting is terrible. Still, each to their own.

        Did/do you get classic UK soaps on your telly? Casualty, Take The High Road. Oh what about The Sullivans? I remember that being on when I was a kid.

        I shouldn’t know about this stuff. Need a beer to block it out.

      • Lol. Gin and tonic o’clock here. Some of those programs you mention get aired on satellite TV, specifically UK classic channels. Some of the content is fun, some just confusing as fuck. Kiwi TV is best when doing news/docos/moody drama. Comedy is fucking wank over here, so satellite to get overseas programs is a must.

      • Gin and tonic o’clock. LOL. Well, lardy dar. One hopes one has sufficient lemon slices to garish and flavour one’s libation. Chin chin. 🙂

        Glad to hear NZ does some decent telly. I wondered if you just got swamped with stuff from the Aussies.

        This evening I shall be catching up with last night’s new episode of Alone. Highly recommended. Trying to survive in the Arctic for 100 days plus all by yourself. No camera crew, no one. Hahah. It’s ace.

      • I think I’ve seen that. He’s an ice hockey player or something? Good fillum, a story of survival indeed.

      • Wait, ou said TV show, not filum. Fuck, I’m toasted already and it’s only just midday 🥃

      • Yep, TV show KC. So, we having a G ‘n’ T without the T then, are we? Hahaha.

        Enjoy!

  19. I see soaps and shite like ‘Ok magazine’ as being the female equivalent of trekkies and star wars nerds or those social misfits that play warhammer/games workshop.

    Chewing gum for the mind.

    I used to watch Hollyoaks for the totty about a decade ago – mainly the lovely Roxanne McKee, who I’d happily use B&WC’s special move on😉

    • Evening Harold,
      Not a fan of trekkies then?☺
      Years ago when in my 20s and full of youthful hedonism an a lust for life, I came out of a party in manchester and was getting the lift to the ground floor, the lift doors opened and 2 blokes in full Star Trek uniform!
      Quite startled me!
      Being a friendly type I said ‘live long and prosper’.
      Do you know?
      They just stared at me like I was the fuckin weirdo!😁😁

  20. I only ever watched it to see Ali’s great acting when he run the cafe. Olivier must have been shitting himself. Also, why have all the women in it got bingo wings? Coronation Streets no better. Only used to watch that to look at Carla. Dallas was brilliant. J R fucking everybody over and having all the top snatch.

  21. JR in Dallas used to walk with that stilted gait that gave the impression he had just shat his pants.

  22. Corrie was ace in the 70s and early 80s. But when Elsie Tanner, Albert Tatlock, Len Fairclough, Eddie Yeats, Annie and Billy Walker and the great Stan Ogden all either left or died in 1984 it was the start of the show’s slow death. Now it’s a pile of shite and has been for years. I fancied the keks off Suzy Birchall and all.

    NeverEnders has always been crap. A couple of fit birds in it from time to time, but full of slappers, wannabe Krays, that moaning old bitch, Lou Beale, that weasel arsed cunt, Ian Beale, those two bald bully boy cunts. Frank cunting Butcher, Kat shagging the Household Cavalry, that ginger slag who squawks ‘Riiiicccckkkaaaay!’, the flashing taxi drver killer, and Barbara Fackin Windsor. Angie Watts was worth a five knuckle shuffle in her prime. mind. Wendy Richard was also a cracker in her Grace Brothers period.

    Brookside was good when it started. With the legendary grumpy cunt Harry Cross and the very fuckable Amanda Burton. Then it got shite, with Jimmy Cunt Corkhill, Barry Grant turning into the Devil, Ron Fucking Dixon and the fucking ‘Moby’, that weirdo incest couple, those stupid lezzers, and a plethora of slags and scrotes like ‘Tinhead’ and ‘Sinbad’.

    All Aussie soaps are shite. Prisoner Cell Block H was good for a laugh though. Big Bea and Vinegar Tits. I thought it was a comedy.

    And Crossroads was worth watching when Dee Hepburn was in it. Fit as fuck.

    • The actor who played Len Fairclough went on to found the ‘Thumbs Up’ Children’s Swimming Club.

    • Now you’re talking, Norm.

      I confess….I have all the series of Prisoner Cell Block H on DVD. Over 400 episodes!!! Love it! It should be crap – women’s Aussie prison – not many of them were lookers – zero ‘interesting’ shower scenes – but it was excellent.

      • IY, it was originally called Prisoner but the name was changed when broadcast in the UK because it had similar sounding name to the show The Prisoner which had a fella in it that looks a lot like our Ruff Tuff Creampuff.

      • Indeed it was my man. And don’t forget, the roses are prisoners too, when morning comes around. Haha.

        The Prisoner was ace too. I assume RTC is a fan. I’ve been to Portmeirion where it was filmed. No. 6’s house is (or was when I went there) a gift shop and is very small. So his house in the series must have been a studio set. Also, the layout of The Village is different in real life. Fun place to go though.

        If memory serves, the external shots in Prisoner (CBH) were the back lot of a TV studio. Wonderful stuff!

      • I used to be scared of Joan the Freak. I was about 6 years old at the time though.

        Her and Mombi from Return to Oz.

  23. In my boring life I have no time for soap’s.
    I recall my first Girlfriends mother being distraught about the death of someone that I later discovered was a soap character.
    However in my other life on standby I saw some shit, “Gruntovcani” a local soap that revolved around some rather shady characters.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke5IYUvhpxU

    As for imports Santa Barbara, was the pits, changing actors constantly, sometimes I thought I may have been confused by the latest concision as a new person presented them self as an existing character it was shit.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXk0t-Utg6I

    as for the other stuff, well there was “Allo Allo” and you just cant cunt that.

  24. I think I watched Neighbours until it went to Channel 5. It was the perfect antidote to that depressing East Enders. I didn’t watch much of Home & Away.

    Sons & Daughters, The Young Doctors, A Country Practice, The Flying Doctors.

  25. Dynasty was shite of the highest order. But it had some bangable birds in it.
    Linda Evans, Emma Samms, Heather Locklear and one or two others.

      • None taken my friend. I’m British. I only live over here in Yankland because I was smart enough to escape the UK years ago. Land of milk and honey it is…all very peaceful. Except for the rioting and looting.

  26. I was once a a regular poster on their forums but as time progressed i felt as if i was being shunned out, due to their ultra left ideology posters.
    And don’t get me wrong here, i wouldn’t class myself as a far right thinker as well.
    But there didn’t seem to be an in-between in there.
    I would write comments here and there, only to be shot down in flames and constantly be ridiculed for anything that i would write.
    I had enough eventually and came off that web site.

  27. By the way…have fellow cunters seen any Emmerdale lockdown episodes?….
    Utter utter bollocks……. there is no going back for me.
    Thank you Emmerdale for giving me an excuse for finally stop watching the last piece of shite on television

  28. How the hell can Eastenders pretend that it reflects real life?
    In real life the characters would be shouting “faack” and
    “you caaant “ every other word.

  29. I might email the Beeb if I can take over from Dominic Treadwell-Collins, the current Showrunner for Eastbenders. I want to steer away from Ishoos and bring back Willy the Pug as a sort of Blofeld character. He will tell Phil Mitchell he has been the ‘author of all his pain’ and sought to destroy the Queen Vic to bring ‘temperance and chastity’ to the square with Dot Cotton as his top acolyte.
