Is 12 minutes really long enough to explore this supremely incompetent and weak-willed department?

12 minutes is certainly not long enough, but 12 minutes of prime time television on the BBC is brilliant.
I watched the trailer for next weeks show and note that Pru Rowntree provides an interview and saw a clip of the hideous pantworks building.
Sincerely hope that this programme provides sufficient embarrassment to LDC planning department (councillors and officers alike). They say that if you wait by the river long enough, you get to watch the bodies of your enemies float by!

After the way the Kennel Club had to start re-examining all their practices afte "Pedigree Dogs Exposed", I'm a great believer in the power of television.
Let's hope this is just the start of a painful and embarrassing time for the incompetent buffoons who seem hell-bent on destroying the town's heritage for a mess of pottage.

Can't wait. Assuming the programme turns out to be any good, it wouldn't do any harm to phone/e-mail the BBC to let them know how well it goes down here. If it's crap, also let them know why.

Good god, I hope not. I couldn't bear the thought that my mother had lied to me all these years!
Mind you, I had an imaginary sister when I was little, maybe she wasn't so imaginary after all. She was Chinese though. Are you Chinese, Spinster?
