Do you watch Songs of Praise or know anybody who does?

[zenie]

Well?

 

[danny la rouge]

No to both questions.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

no and no

 

[bruise]

nope.

i once tried to for professional reasons and only managed a minute.

oh - and i once watched the episode of that dawn french thing where they get entered for sop. does that count?

and why do you ask?

 

[Loki]

I will admit to very occasionally tuning in, but only to snigger...

I'm not a very nice person am I.

 

[PJW20]

I haven't watched it since Thora Hird died. While she was on I used to watch it every week for my regular sunday wank.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

I've been on it.

That would be the Vicar of Dibley, some episodes are quality, that one was alright.

 

[Groucho]

No and no.

In the days of only three or four channels 'Watching Songs of Praise' was a euphamism for doing anything at all, or watching any old crap, in order to avoid or put off doing your school homework.

No-one watches it except dead people.

 

[foamy]

yes, when i see my nana for sunday lunch we watch it together
neither of us are religious but she was brought up in a christian school where they learnt the bible parrot fashion and knows all the songs (she is 85)

she will also tell me at least 7 times during the show that Dame Vera Lynn couldnt actually sing

 

[zenie]

and why do you ask?

It was on before Antiques Roadshow and I just wondered

 

[WouldBe]

No and no.

Superstitious mumbo jumbo.

 

[pogofish]

About the only fork I know who watch it are a number of elderly & often quite frail neighbours/relatives. About the only times I've watched it were when some relative or other was the much-swollen congregtion when it visited their church.

 

[Cerisa]

my grandma

 

[chio]

Even my old grandad says it's crap

 

[Firky]

i would if was more like this

 

[Moggy]

I record it on a weekly basis

 

[BlackSpecs]

i used to watch it ...but my girlfriend kept telling me off!

i now have GOD-T.V. ...you have never seen anything like it

Hallelujah ....... I said Hallelujah!!!!!! etc. etc.

 

[trashpony]

I was brought up with a total disdain for all things Christian and I've never felt the need to rebel

 

[Gavin Bl]

my wife likes to watch it if she has not been to church, and my dad watches it for the singing (he's in a male voice choir)

 

[Stigmata]

My Mum watches it while she does the ironing. I prefer Antiques Roadshow.

[pengaleng]

i would if was more like this

fuckin hell yeah man that film is sick

 

[Dubversion]

does anyone remember 'Songs of Praise on Ice'?

PRICELESS

 

[fear-n-loathing]

no twice, i'm surprised its still on the viweing figures must be unbelievable low

 

[irishshapes]

my da, he was in a choir, he just likes the songs, isn't religous though

 

[goldenecitrone]

It was good with Harry Secombe, but lost its way a bit after he popped his clogs. If only Johnny Vegas would learn a few hymns.

 

[Stigmata]

I'd watch it if Harry Hill did a voiceover.

 

[T & P]

Under the BBC charter Auntie is obliged to show a number of hours per week of religious programming, unfortunately.

But if the BBC must really cater for the needs or tastes of all its viewers, where the fuck is our weekly dose of pornography? Surely those interested in watching porn must outweigh those interested in watching religious programming by 1,000 to 1.

 

[bruise]

... and i think there's an 'established church' aspect to that as well.

SOP is always Christian, isn't it? On R4 on Sunday morning there's always a Christian (and I think always C of E) church service.

You'd think someone would launch a 'discrimination' case against the Beeb?

If the church was as interested in cross-faith dialogue as they say they are - perhaps they'd give up their protected slots occasionally? would they hell as like.
