In the current times you turn your TV on, and have hundreds of channels to choose from and if that’s not enough you have YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime. So it won’t be wrong to say we have countless options.
Once upon a time, we only used to have one channel that was the legendary PTV, to watch on our television screen. The brilliantly well scripted serious dramas with phenomenal actors, the hilarious sit-coms and dramas that made everyone laugh out loud, actually. The comic timing of actors combined with the hilarious scripts resulted in the comedy series we all still cherish, to this day.
Having said that it is pertinent to mention some of the most cherished and well sort dramas in history of PTV.
