Thread Name: Folkies in wife swap
Subject: RE: Folkies in wife swap
Personally I think Ch 4 are on a looser.

If they knew anything about Folk they would realise that looking for sensational Folkies - ie slobs and misanthropes - is going to be a long haul.

But then pairing a caring couple with the "me" generation crowd would be the kind of television they seek - but bad for Folkies.

Why don't they televise the pairings at Folk Festivals over a year - there would be a few husband swaps to choose from - and not a few asignations............... I am told.........

Hatchet Job is the least of your worries - they manipulate - it is their trade. Truth is not something they understand. Manufactured truths and cut and shut conversations are all they can manage.

The programmes are entertainment. Not documentary, not reality (do they know the meaning of the word?) not fact but mental wallpaper.

Sarah is bound to be keen - they are running out of ideas and Folk is way down the pecking order.
