You know a TV show is going to the dogs when the cast are all ordered onto the minibus. I can scarcely believe that this old plot (well, maybe 'plot' is too big a word for it...) element is still being wheeled out, but yes it's alive and well, which is more than you can say for the Neighbours cast members once the vehicle comes off the road and bursts into flames. It's the minibus to nowhere, this is.
Now, you may think I've taken leave of my senses wasting my valuable time writing about some bollocksy old TV series but I just can't help it. My eyes opened in amazement when I saw the trailer last night, my mouth formed an I-can't-believe-it shape and then I just had to laugh out loud. I mean really, can't the TV people think of any better cliffhanger than to squeeze all of these actors (well, you have to call them something) into a Toyota Tarago with either dodgy brakes, a dodgy driver, a driver who is about to have a heart attack/fall asleep at the wheel/swerve to miss another cast member/have a tyre blow out/a loose can of petrol in the boot ignite or, God forbid, have a head-on with a petrol tanker driven by the cast member who has returned from the dead. It beggars belief.
Will I be watching to see who lives and who dies? Just like the ending to Neighbours, I think we all know the answer to that already.
