River City + Fair City

About 5 years ago I started carrying drama serials like Hollyoaks, Neighbours, Home and Away and Shortland Street, but despite being popular on TV they were not so here and after 18 months I discontinued them. Now I'll throw a couple others out there and see how it goes.

For about the past 13 years when BBC airs Holby City on Tuesday nights, BBC Scotland airs its own Glasgow-based drama, River City.

For about the past 25 years, four nights a week at 8pm, a good chunk of the Irish population tune-in to check out what's going on in the fictional Dublin suburb of  Carrigstown on Fair City.

Rather than jumping in at the first episode of 2015, I began both with the Christmastime episodes.
