I think one of the really big problems with the show is shoehorning Dr Turner into every storyline, he had no business being the police surgeon last week. It definitely takes away from the show, wasting time with him being in every episode, so we don't get as deep into the storyline and there's less character development because precious minutes are diverted to him, saving the world one novel medical treatment at a time.
Also, the wokeness is a huge problem, I just don't think midwives or Drs were so understanding or sympathetic. I thought the explanation of scabies was really patronising in Sunday's episode, they don't credit the audience with much intelligence.
I'm finding it to be patronising, surely the audience can understand that people weren't so open minded and understanding over 50 years ago and if we don't know what an infection is we can google it.
I agree, that covid distancing rules are affecting it, especially with Lucille and Cyril, could they not do what some of the soaps have done and have the cast isolate so that they could have some closeness between the newly weds. I completely understand and accept that we aren't seeing the main cast hold the babies but surely we could see the Lucille and Cyril on the same side of the room.
I still keep tuning in each week it's on for now but if it carries on like it is, I'll switch off
I had to remove myself from it as I found it unbearable. I've never seen such sycophantic hysterical emotional women. Some posted that they start crying as soon as the theme tune starts and they can't stop until after the programme has finished! When a series ends, they sound almost suicidal!! Any hint of negativity about the programme and there's a pile-on of nastiness to the poster. That's why I'm glad I found Tattle Life as I'm amongst level-headed people where balanced opinions are welcome.
