[QUOTE="Sarah, post: 249906, member: 6"] Thank you @Ome for the lovely introduction and I will answer the questions as best I can. Thank you [USER=70]@Santa Englishboy[/USER] for the great questions. I've posted my answers below: 1) What is your occupation (is it something to do with the BBC)?[I][B] I am a Studio Audience Manager, meaning I have responsiblity for our N.Ireland audiences who come in to see shows being filmed in our BBC Studios. Things have changed a little since the virus as we aren't allowed to have audiences in, but we are working with them virtually. I get to see a lot of great stuff, including Mastermind, although I'm grateful there were no Dallas questions this time as someone would have had to put something in my mouth! I'm also an actress although work there is thin on the ground too thanks to the virus![/B][/I] 2) What is your favourite ever British soap opera and why? [I][B]Definitely Coronation Street although I liked Brookside a lot too. Corrie because it has that good balance of sad and happy and for the most part I have really enjoyed the mix of characters - ages, backgrounds etc (not so much lately though). I just find EastEnders too dark and depressing - there is something about Corrie that has always been and 'looked' a little bit lighter if that makes sense. The storylines are mostly exciting although I have been critical of it during the virus and some of the writing/execution of storylines have been poor. [/B][/I] 3) Other than Southfork ranch, have you ever visited the sets or settings of any other tv soaps? If so, which ones and what did you make of them?
