no idea what MUBI is and the movies it quoted in the article i have no idea what they are. I assume its not for the likes of me.

here's one thing annoying me at the moment. soap operas aren't my thing but i do love classic soap operas. they're hilarious. i'm in my 30s (late 30s) and i thoroughly enjoyed watching classic coronation street and eastenders on itv 3 and UK Drama. That was a few years ago now.

Whats happened since? classic corrie and classic eastenders is now in the era of "lets make everyone cheat on each other, lets have mass murders and natural disasters" i.e. theyre now all post 2005.

Yet the audience is still there as the show is still slightly less sh*t than 2024 so they're quite passionate about it continuing as it is.

Surely a "classic" tv show should cover at least the first 30% of the shows existence rather than what we get now.

I miss the days of being able to watch classic brookside and classic neighbours too. I see amazon only uploaded the more modern episodes yet again they realise if they uploaded the genuine 80s episodes people would go "ooh thats better than the current product!"

Can we expect for actual classic corrie, classic eastenders, classic neighbours etc to be coming soon or are we stuck with 2000s episodes because people like them more than 2024 stuff even though its not "classic"
