“.. On the small screen, anything is possible: ..
.. The hooker can have a heart of gold, the cloud can have a silver lining, the tunnel can have a light at the end of it.
In real life, the tunnel is dark, the cloud dumps rain for days, and the hooker is indifferent .. and has Chlamydia.
No wonder we turn to our televisions for novelty ..
.. to see if the lovely downhill skier weeps tears of joy or disappointment ..
.. to find out if the patient’s heart surgery saves his life or kills him..
.. to discover if the castaways live happily ever after.
.. or spend another week wandering through the jungle..
.. searching for more clues..”
