And for those who are wondering why I am not watching this, a little explanation.
I learned about soap operas at an early age. On the days when I was sick (yes, really) and couldn’t go to school, I lay in bed, read books, and listened to the radio. This gave me a chance to hear episodes of Blue Hills (at one time the longest running radio serial in the world, but now surpassed by The Archers) and the Australian version of When A Girl Marries (I don’t know whether she ever did get married).
I quickly realised that (a) these were supposed to be stories, and (b) that they did not include spaceships, jokes, or intriguing murders.
I thought, and still think, that there is no point in a story which does not have spaceships, jokes, or intriguing murders. So I decided that I would not waste any more of my time on such stuff.
