Writing/Television

Two hobbies I have are creative writing and watching TV. The second one of these probably seems obvious, but it's something I really enjoy, and it links in with my writing.
 At the moment most of the writing I do is fan fiction. Whenever I watch any TV I always find myself daydreaming and expanding on the storylines, or trying to predict what is going to happen next. So I actually get loads of ideas which I use for writing fan fiction.
 My favourite TV genre is drama and soaps, and I have a few different favourite shows. Some I watch regularly, some whenever there's anything good going on and some I just watch clips of my favourite characters on youtube. And I've made a few fan videos of my favourite stuff for youtube. 
 For some reason I like really dramatic stuff best, even shows like EastEnders and Emmerdale.  I've also watched old stuff, such as Grange Hill, which I found by accident while searching for something else.  My family, friends and basically everyone I know think the stuff I watch is a load of rubbish, and all the storylines are trash, but I just watch what I like. And my argument is: it helps me be creative, and since my ambition is to be a script writer, watching TV benefits me more than homework! (Though my parents don't agree with that!)
