If you need that stuff then there's torrents to download. The process can be automated to catch the latest episodes as they are uploaded.

The burning question is whether or not there are enough comfy armchairs in Russia to go around.

 :chuckle: Who for? All the old geezers from the forum?

Yes, the moribund old geezers.

There could be another problem there is no Coronation Street or Eastenders the UK lot, I know some people cannot survive without the daily soap update:)

Surely they're the kind of people 1 would not want to associate with if you relocated to Russia or anywhere infact (except maybe Benidorm  :hidechair:)

I would think TV would be the least of anyones worries.
But then I don't watch much TV.
I looked at the possibility of retiring in Ukraine once.
But reality is, will never happen. To many better places ( warmer)

I think there are some people who need their telly fix and would make life choices around the availability or not of their  soap diet.

They typically choose benidorm, mainly for financial reasons but the soaps being an added bonus.

The last time I sat down and watched TV was over 6 years ago! Never have time and not really interested, I watch the BBC news once or twice a week unless its the same subject then I give it a rest for a few weeks.
If I happen to be at my parents in the UK visiting I usually have my laptop in my hand anyway so blank the TV.
I watch 2/3 movies a day whilst working and its getting harder to find any good ones now a days, seen them all :chuckle:

In the U.S., the moribund old geezers rot their brains in front of Fox News. (Watching soaps isn't practical because they can't even remember what happened at the beginning of the current episode, much less the previous one.)

I trust this is a question you are also addressing to yourself... being a frequent traveller to Russia

PS Thank God for the folk who want to live in another country and watch their home nation's tv - without any pc knowledge..

I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<

One thing I have noticed since I left the Uk is usually I have no idea what day of the week it is.. :laugh:

It doesn't really matter what day it is anymore its "Just another day" I love this freedom and being able to get up in the morning and not really care what day it is ;D

When I was in the UK I only ever worked for some one else for about four years of my life and god I hated every second of it.. I used to just watch the clock every day.. :(

There could be a few more cases like this in the not to distant future...  :laugh:

Not sure this is the poster family for immagration.

Quite possibly this family would do well on the Jerry Springer show. The parents seem to have no education and came to Russia not only with there daughters but there young grand children as well.

Put a comma after 2009, hyphenate "fast paced" and "multi platform" like so: fast-paced, multi-platform.
