2.9.11 Soap TV

Why are we inundated with programmes that insist we're 'entertained' by anything and everything done by soap stars?  Celebrity this, All Star that, and Soap Version the other.  There's no end to the supply of soap actors, ex-soap people and 'peripheral' soap stars who seem intent on filling my TV screen.  So many people desperate for more TV exposure, competing in various challenges that are commonly shit.

I struggle to endure 'Fiz' at the best of times, during an episode of Coronation Street.  There are scores of other people of less renown who are wheeled in by programme makers, who somehow think we'll be dying to watch if it includes a cow from Emmerdale, or a cunt from Hollyoaks!  I certainly don't want to put up with actors (if that's what they are) cooking, or on a quiz show, or Who Wants To Be A Pain-in-the-arse.  They sing, chat, cook, eat, attempt obstacle courses, jump out of planes, open envelopes, play games, just about anything really.  Usually 'for charity'.  Yawn.
