I just grit my teeth when the melodrama starts on The Archers and wait for the real story to resume. Which it always does eventually. I don't know why they think they have to do the melodrama, but they're obviously very proud of it as they start doing trailers whenever they've got one running.
I find a lot of comedy too painful to be funny, and that includes most of Fawlty Towers. And then there was The Royle Family, which I thought was brilliant, but I couldn't understand why it was described as a comedy; to me it was an enthralling but horrifying drama about the emptiness of family life.
