Helena Bonham Carter: ‘Watching TV in the age of streaming feels lonely’

The Telegraph  

Watching television has become a “lonely” business in the age of streaming, Helena Bonham Carter has said, speaking wistfully of the era in which 15 million would tune in to Crossroads. Nolly, which launches on ITV’s streaming service ITVX on Feb 2, explores Gordon’s 1981 sacking from Crossroads, which made headlines and led to protests from dismayed viewers. “It’s very difficult to explain to my kids – they think I was brought up with dinosaurs – that there were only three channels,” Bonham Carter said of that time. You can’t go, ‘Oooh, what’s going to happen?’ Sometimes it’s a bit lonely, actually, watching telly.” Bonham Carter conceded, however, that the proliferation of streaming services does offer more choice.
