Well, just two smokers* to be precise, and fictional ones at that, but I couldn't resist the (futuristic) headline.
ANTI-smoking campaigners want soap chiefs to kill off cig-puffing characters Deirdre Barlow and Dot Cotton.
[ASH's Amanda Sandford said] “For Dot and Deirdre to get something like lung cancer would have a massive effect on the audience. The Government should be leaning on shows like this.”
Well, what a perfect bundle of laughs you are, Sandford, you interfering, gargoyle-featured bint. Isn't it time you stopped sucking up our taxes, just to exhibit to the world that you are a sick psychotic bitch?
What we have here, in effect, is a branch of Government telling programme makers what to feature in their shows. Why don't they just be honest and skip straight to state-censored TV stations? You know, like the ones we used to laugh about Soviet Russia being subjected to.
