	Doctors. I loved The Sullivans! Takes me back to when I had my first baby, nearly 26 years ago, and The Sullivans was on in the afternoon when baby slept and I did the ironing. Must say I was a bit bemused by it!

	You are right of course Tec, Bread was a sitcom and very funny too. I think we have a bit of an overlap between the three threads here.

	AnninGlos, Do you mean "Bread" that was set in Liverpool, all about the Boswell family. I think it was more a Sitcom than a soap though. I enjoyed the Liverpool humour in that. Tec.
