This is a list of what DH likes to watch

Shed & Buried
Scrap Kings
Salvage Hunters
Motorbike show
Find it Flog it Fix it
Chasing Classic cars
Car SOS
Wheeler Dealers
Top Gear

This got me thinking, I am not saying women cannot watch and maybe some women enjoy some of those programmes but they are targeted at men. What programmes are targeted at women? All I can think of is the Sewing Bee and that has finished now.

Then lets not forget football of course.

My DH cannot seem to enjoy anything made after the 1970’s - he will watch re-runs of vintage comedies like Bless This House, On the Busses, Some Mother’s do ‘ave ‘em! Etc Etc. I love good dramas like the ones that come on at 9 pm but he just won’t concentrate enough to follow any of them.

From the above 'Chasing Classic Cars' is about it.
He's been doing the 'Wheeler Dealer' thing from about 18yrs old.
As we speak he is in his cave listening to blues while re- building the super charger for his own American HotRod (built in 1937) which he races.
He's also 'advising' our godson how to build a car.
So as you can imagine soaps etc don't come into his world.
