Binge watching a series?
Posted: April 25th, 2017, 5:14 pm
When I was a young man, my dear father carefully marked up the Radio Times each week, selecting which educational programmes and documentaries the family would watch on the televisual device that sat in the corner of the room (although my mother would secretly put on Crossroads for us both to watch before he returned from work each day, but I digress).
Mrs Clariman and I often enjoy good quality drama programmes and will eagerly await the following week's episode. In this regard, we have been watching the current series of Line of Duty, which has been most entertaining. However, there are occasional references to earlier series, which leaves us somewhat bemused. Our previously hectic social and work calendar meant that we had not had the opportunity to watch series 1 to 3.
Today, I am in receipt of a DVD disc that contains said earlier series in one convenient package. Mrs C and I are now enjoying early retirement and wonder whether it might be appropriate to enter the 21st century and do what the young folk call "binge watching" of the earlier series.
Dear Lemonfool correspondents. I would be most appreciative if any experienced binge watchers could provide some information and handy tips on the subject of "binge watching". Do I need to make any special preparations, should Mrs C prepare a light supper to keep us sustained, what is the etiquette for a binge watch, will Mr & Mrs Jones next door look aghast if we tell them that we have binge watched something, is it socially acceptable in respectable circles?
Yours faithfully
Clariman
