Even more media

Helpfully a friend has pointed out an ommision in the paragraph about how difficult it is to write for the Sun.

Are you aware that the sun has a vocab list of something like 10,000 words so as to not confuse its readers? - Caz

It doesn't surprise me.

Another friend pleads:

Which current UK drama series have been running for
more than ten years?

We've already got Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Eastenders, Casualty, Grange Hill, Heartbeat (are they on the 70s now?), Byker Grove and The Bill.

And I'm bound to have missed something.

We think the longest running current TV comedy series is Last of the Summer wine. Yes I was surprised to find it is still going with yet another season in the pipeline.

Any hints please use the box on your right.


On my travels I found This article in the Guardian that suggests that despite all the governments best efforts over the Gilligan issue, the BBC is still the most trusted source of information. (Thanks to Nick Barlow for bringing it to my attention.)

I also note that I'm possibly being a bit of a political bantamweight by picking on the obvious deficiencies of the Sun rather than the pit of evil that is (dan dan der-) The Daily Mail.
