With Strictly Come Dancing and Dr Who on tomorrow evening nobody will have an excuse to have a sneaky view at ITV! I certainly won't be tempted.

Haven't had a telly for a year now and I can honestly say that I haven't missed anything at all

I realised that I hadn't even switched it on for 6 months and then sat and thought about what I actually did watch. Similar to you, it was mainly documentaries, news and current affairs programmes but sadly, I couldn't recollect anything outstanding I'd watched over the previous year.

Now I listen to the radio and occasionally view something on iPlayer or other catch-up services but simply do not find the quality of programme I enjoy.

The best example I could give is the difference between BBC1's Question Time and Radio 4's Any Questions. The former is well past its sell-by date. Another aspect is listening to drama on radio, makes me use my imagination to picture scenes and visualise characters.

There's plenty of stimulation available without the need for a telly

I would imagine that could prove useful over the lonely, long winter nights that are looking large.

"praise" where it's due (you meant "credit")
"looking" when it's "looming"

Dally, up your game, or your medication.
