I do keep forgetting what Channel 4 can be like (though it was hammered home at the end of the pap last night when the advert for the next exciting Channel 4 production was Big Fat Gypsy Valentines... I hate that kind of thing - from the title all the way down, and they really are down... Oh, I also noticed that the company that did The King in the Carpark was Endomol, also responsible for Big Brother... *sighs*

Mind you, I keep missing the good stuff too, cos I don't watch much telly... I would do more if I didn't have to lie on my bed like a teenager to do it, mind - it'd be quite nice to sit down in front of the box for 15 minutes, to see what was on, without feeling as if I'd packed it in for the night!

I wonder if they were thinking that it'd be up against something like Strictly, and therefore needed that same breath of desperate melodrama... or no, they were probably just being very Channel 4 about it...
