My main memory of MK were the concrete cows designed to create the illusion it was a rural idyll.
Eastender was standard fare in our house 30 years ago. Never missed an episode.
Storylines were typically car accidents, fires, relationships in and out of wedlock, burning social issues I cared nothing for. The main benefit of watching was the realisation how fortunate one was not to be part of the cast.
Two weeks withdrawal symptom not knowing what happened to the protagonists. Then joy - I was "clean" - I no longer wasted 2 hours a week, 100 hours a year to watch misery
