Bristolians Discuss: Why have soap ratings declined?

What has made you continue or stop watching soaps? Is there anything you would prefer to watch than a soap?

Transcript

00:00I tend not to watch soaps anymore, you know, they're getting a bit predictable, or they're

00:07a bit ridiculous, so, I mean, I'm not surprised they're declining, and there's much more choice

00:13than the days when there were two or three channels, and, you know, there were soaps

00:18on all three channels at the same time, so you don't have to watch them anymore.

00:23I don't know, I've never been a fan, I never bothered.

00:27Most people put them online anyway, so, obviously, with people being online, you tend to watch

00:32them on there.

00:34Watching the Traitors, that's about it, I don't know, I don't really watch, like, TV

00:37programmes so much, I'll watch, unless it's, like, a Netflix show or something like that.

00:42A lot less people are watching these TV programmes, do you watch them?

00:46I don't watch them, no, no, no, no.

00:48No one really watches television anymore, everyone's more, like, Netflix, Disney+, that

00:54sort of thing.

00:55They'd rather just go with streaming services, so, which is what I do, like, I don't really

00:59watch TV anymore.
