the bold and the beautiful

used to be a programme on Ch10 before the early news a couple years ago. I am sure the cast must have been paid Dignity Money because no self-respecting actor would lower themselves to do, say or act as this production required them. Maybe it was meant to be satire on soaps but I did not read it that way. If it wasn't satire or even parody, then the writer must have been paid a fortune because he is never going to find work again. Imagine going for an interview as a script writer:
Interviewer: Can you tell us about your experience in TV script writing?
Hopeful: Yes, I wrote the script for the successful Bold and the Beautiful.
Interviewer: You wrote that? Who let this person through the selection process? Get outer here. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Why haven't you had your membership of the Screen Writer's Guild revoked? That script is an insult to the intelligence of our members. Out! Out I say! Begone! Do not darken my threshold ever. Ours in an honourable profession and you have set it back to the pre-talkie days. Go! Get ye out!
