You are what you watch

I like to settle down to the soaps with a box of chocolates or a snack to keep me company.

No matter what I’m watching, when it gets to a certain point in the evening my eyes glaze over.

I like to watch the credits at the end of programmes because I’m interested in how TV shows are put together.

I dislike being interrupted while watching my favourite programmes.

I have a remote-control unit so that I can change channels easily.

Watching late-night TV is the easiest way for me to get off to sleep.

When watching documentaries I always keep a pen and paper handy so I can jot down the interesting facts.

I love to watch TV in bed and often fall asleep while it’s still on.

I like to time my evening meal between the programmes I wish to see.

I look forward to the return of my favourite series.

Documentaries are my favourite sort of programme and I may remember them for months afterwards.

I like to flick between the sports programmes on Saturday afternoons so that I see as much action as possible.

I often find myself day-dreaming during programmes and have to ask someone else to bring me up to date with the plot.

Watching a thriller late at night can have me jumping at the tiniest noise in the house.

When watching a debate or audience discussion, I often work out what I’d say if I had the chance.

I am annoyed when my favourite programmes are shown at the same time on different channels.

I prefer short programmes or quiz programmes to those where I have to concentrate for a long time.

When I watch a travel or holiday programme I am transported into another world and feel I’m actually there.

I usually send off for fact packs or leaflets if they are advertised in conjunction with particular TV programmes.

I usually have the television on in the background while I do jobs around the house.

I read as much as I can about the actors and their roles in the series I follow.

Westerns are the only thing I really enjoy because they remove me completely from ordinary life.

Social and political programmes give me great insight into current affairs.

I often bring work home with me and finish it off while watching TV.

I prefer to watch snooker or darts to boxing or football.

I enjoy watching TV with my friends.

I am addicted to health and family problem programmes.

I’ll do anything to make sure I don’t miss my favourite serial.

Thrillers and crime programmes set my imagination running.

A comedy programme that really gives me a thoroughly good laugh always leaves me feeling much more relaxed.

I watch a lot of quiz shows and panel games to try to increase my general knowledge.

People are often amazed that I can follow a television programme and have a conversation at the same time.
