Eastenders, Corination Street and all that bollocks

[Raven]

Is it me or are these programs turning into infomercials? watching coronation street with the wife.

geeky looking fella banging on about saving on heating and light bulbs, his tranny wife turns round, whats a carbon footprint? cue other bloke, its blah blah, was expecting them to look at the camera and say, and for more information phone this number.

Next scene all about the smoking ban.

Jesus fucking christ this nanny state is getting on my nerves /rant over

Yeah, they really are. They have to show that "They're following the times" =< Bit pathetic really.

Soap operas always have been, their storylines are often aimed at raising awareness on some issues like domestic abuse in Eastenders (lil' Mo).

whats a Chronictank? :S (yes, yes the irony)

dont get it...
google says this is who lil'mo is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil'_Mo

but i fail to see how she has any relevance in east enders

as for the irony comment, she said it raises awareness but i dont know who it is, hence the irony...

I think the writers for these crappy programs have the easiet job in the world

i saw on TV that about 15 people sit in a room and make the script for hollyoaks

god know how many do it for coronation street and how much they get paid.

The Stella Artois bit on oceans thirteen was embarassing. It was like the Alan partridge episode with Spunt tropical drink
