I got cured of TV soapies (which The Bill became - the
original series were really good) many years ago, (like over
30!) when I used to watch Days of Our Lives.
My husband was working on a civil engineering project, and
I made friends with a group of Yugoslavian wives who spoke
little English. They would often invite me to their places and
DOOL would be on the TV, and they would ask me to explain
the plot to them. We would always end up laughing until we
ached at the absurdities of it and after that, I could never watch
any soapie without getting the giggles.
Same with on the street type interviews - I've got the original
video of Creature Comforts, the claymation people who made
Chicken Run and the Wallace and Grommit series, and whenever
I see someone being interviewed with a mike stuck in front of them,
I get the giggles. (And I knew my friend had selected a better
second husband, her first was a disaster, when we watched the
Wallace and Grommit tapes before the shows had been on TV, and
he rolled around laughing at them).
BTW, we no more think England resembles The Bill than I hope
those in the UK think life in Australia resembles the Oz soapies
we seem to export to you in large quantities).
