A survey last week reported that 9 out of 10 doctors say their patients already believe they know what is wrong with them - based on what they see in their favourite soaps on TV. At least half are wrong in their self-diagnosis.
This is scary - but in my view, it backs up beliefs of increased violence from watching TV. It indicates how susceptible we are to taking fiction on board as part of real life.
I have long wanted to stop people watching other people's lives, and to instead get more out of their own life. If you spend each evening watching (say) EastEnders, how can you not get depressed in the process? There is so little fun and laughter, too much anger... Go out and get some fun with some real people!
