What I found QED creepy is that showed very early AI, some people surviving the odds about death and the edition about the one-armed chef who was fantastic with cooking skills.
If I remember correctly there was a short bloke with ageing disease or something with a big nose like Pinnochio.
I went off Brookside when they did an incest storyline. What is it with soaps and incest? |

I do remember QED very well with its interesting logo a bit like a neon sign and tune to go with it. That was on longer ago that I dare to think about wasn't it.
What was creepy about the show GM?
On modern soaps, I was an avid Brookside fan in the 80's from the start of Channel 4 when I was only just into big school aznd stuck with it to the mid 90's. Now that was real in those days. It then became shite just after the mid 90's and I stopped watching completely and not long after it was gone for good having thrown away it's audience that knew quality versus crap when it was served up to them. I enjoyed Coronation Street in that era too and if you look back at some of the acting on YT it is superb at times. It was my misfortune to be sitting with someone watching Coronation Street a few times recently in the evenings and it didn't look like the programme with that name I remember. The whole thing looked sterile and soulless. The Rovers looked like a TV set, in the 80's it looked and felt like a pub even though it was a TV set. They were able to create real atmosphere. The modern soap acting, well let me say that I saw better acting during my own drama lessons at school from people who had no interest in the field than I did on some of those recent Coronation Streets. That also doesn't look long for this world to me. You mentioned cocaine, I think some people are addicted to these shows like hard drugs and just can't get off them even though they know the quality is garbage and they want to stop. |

Never watch soaps. Well, apart from watching an episode of Eastenders years ago when Mike Baldwin had a punch up with Pat Butcher.TV now is the pits. Big Brother paved the way. Imagine if they did I Claudius today---nope, neither can I. |

BBC still don't do their homework, I can't believe mugs are still paying for them. I don't think drill music is a problem it's the people behind the genre, for street cred. I remember when heavy metal was supposed to be satanic and promoted suicide. The bands played on that fear to sell more records and albums.
