I tend to wacth to be sociable with my wife and daughter, but honestly, increasingly it taxes my patience.
These dreadful sordid people being nasty to each other, and the few who seem to have any redeeming personality traits don't stick around.
Only the horrible Max and even more horrible Phil seem to grind on endlessly from one sad storyline to another, with others in varying degrees of nasty behaviour.
I think my distaste for this is going to overide my need to spend time with my loved ones, so the ong answer to your question is - part one: I couldn't care less, part two: God help us by about 2012 if each Christmas storyline goes down further than this one.
