Of course this presupposes consistent parenting. I am not talking about conscious unfairness rather that with the first child everything is new whereas when second child reaches that stage they have more experience but less interest. Yes I may be a biased younger child (though I do appreciate that younger ones may benefit from having space to do their own thing) but I have also observed my contemporaries with their kids). The first child is a little god with hot and cold running parents on tap ... when the second one arrives the start saying " well it is the toddler that needs the attention"... .
Birth order is fascinating psychologically ....

I'd like to assign foxes - especially the one who visited our garden last night and lynched all but three chickens. May it be taken to the Houses of Lamentation (whatever that is), where it shall be stripped of its stinking fur, its flesh devoured, and its shrivelled mind (if it has such a thing) be left naked to the Lidless Eye forever!

Also in the same category are loose dogs, raccoons, possums and mink.

Especially mink.

British terrestrial TV station "ITV"

Absolutely shocking channel, that has really gone down the pan over the last 20 years.

Dumbing-down, quiz shows, dire comedy shows, reality progs and anything to do with celebs & ratings is all this bankrupt shadow of its former self can offer!

I reckon even the Witch King would be screaming for a quick death after just an hour watching that tat!

Wow - as an American, I'm familiar with ITV only as the maker of such great shows as Agatha Christie's Poirot, Inspector Morse, and Foyle's War, and I've always had this image of it as some kind of glorious, high-budget PBS. It's sad but somehow strangely comforting to hear that actually it shows the same sort of rubbish as most of the channels here.

I share your views, and yes the programs you mention are of very high quality, but were made years ago, and are often repeated on ITV to give the channel some credibility that it offers "quality drama" when in actual fact they're just showing repeats
