And if the bloke gets out of bed he has his pants on.
Some night of passion !

...despite the fact that they hate the landlady, and said landlady has previously barred them from the pub ...
also, any dirty laundry must be aired in public, most particularly, in the pub with everyone listening and looking ...
No need to book an appt at the doctors surgery (again, as usual with everything, just across the road from where you live). Just find the Doctor having his pint in the local. Or alternatively just visit him at home, just a few doors down from where you live ....
(this last fact is not so much true in today's Eastenders, but was definitely true in the 80's/90's with Dr Legg and his successors

)In any film set in the UK it will always be snowing at Christmas
British actors or people playing a british character in an American film will never have a regional accent and will always be from London. With the exception of Scottish/Irish characters
Any American actor in a british film will always be based in London and have a posh accent
In the soaps if a character can't find work on the square/street then they will be jobless. They will not look for a job in the vast city they live in. Any character that has found work outside of the square/street will never seems to have to be at work
In Eastenders the Vic which was only 2 bedroomed at the start can sleep up to 8 characters, with none of them having to sleep on the couch. The same can be said for Pats house
The only food available in the Rovers is Betty's hotpot. Nobody ever asks for a sandwich or chips
Somebody always dies on the square on Christmas day or new years eve. I would go away for crimbo if I lived there!

This 1 is about "Smallville".When a main character or a character involved in the storyline from that particular episode has been kidnapped or is trapped somewhere.They will always be knocked out or they will end up knocking themselves out by trying to escape & tripping over something just seconRAB before Clark comes to their rescue.Hence them not knowing it was Clark that saved them.

I've noticed this with CSI and its spin oRAB, if a crime happens at night they happen to be on shift, if it happens in the day they still happen to be on shift, The worst is CSI Vegas, where they are the night shift but will often turn up in them middle of the afternoon to start working on a crime.

That's to A stop you channel hopping during the commercials and B let you know what's going on because you did channel hop and decided to watch this show...
That happens in Ireland, or at least here in Co, Cork. Half the town turns out for a funeral if they know someone who knew the deceased. Don't think it happens everywhere in Ireland.
Very few people turned out for my Da's funeral (thank goodness!) because no one knew who he was LOL
Think that's because the TADIS seeks out historically significant events as it's travelling across the universe...
With regard to the humanoiRAB in Sci Fi shows (that was either mentioned here, or on the other clich
