Another problem with this is producers being assigned to chase a specific group (say for example, people in their early thirties in relationships) and then getting writers in to fill the gaps. Hence the proliferation of Man Stroke Woman style shows a few years ago.<BR/><BR/>With drama series, the Beeb seem to be moving to fewer, bigger-budgeted series, which would seem a step in the right direction.

I know I come from a world that likes to parcel people up into little packages, but TV people have taken to 'demographics' like a new religion.<BR/><BR/>We spend so much time trying to establish the things that differentiate groups and prise them apart when staring us in the face are the great fat interests and concerns that stick us all together - an appreciation of quality being one of them.cellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17061833787120469657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-12630643806612325172007-08-18T11:28:00.000+01:002007-08-18T11:28:00.000+01:00Ooh yes, that is very nice, though at first it mad...Ooh yes, that is very nice, though at first it made me think that you'd all grouped together to write yet another Austen adaptation.kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998322952222186477noreply@blogger.com
