Wow. It’s not like the Express to create a harrowing news story from nothing.
To save you the time in searching for and reading this article – something I like to believe is beneath followers of my blog* – I’ll let you know the source of the headline… Twitter.
* I only checked the Express website in order to carry out research for my own.
A journalist was paid (presumably) good money, to write about a few tweets from viewers, claiming how graphic and violent the ITV drama was.
Oh, and yes, I do see the irony of me writing about something somebody wrote about something somebody else wrote.
This is a TV series based upon the real life story of a man who slaughtered his entire family. What were these tweeters expecting? Last of the Summer Wine?
Giving the subject matter, I would be concerned if anyone found Wednesday night’s episode amusing. If some viewers were left disturbed, surely that means the cast and crew behind the series did a good job!
If it’s good old fashioned, wholesome primetime television they’re after, I would reccomend Netflix. I’m sure they can watch The Waltons or some other warm and cosy treat, making them truly believe that bad things don’t happen and we live in a fluffy world.

Channel Four recently showed a documentary on people who go dogging. I only realised it had been on, when I noticed social media had gone into meltdown over the programme's content and the individuals who took part in it.
Being the inquisitive type, I downloaded the documentary - which had been given the rather witty name,...
- Uproar In A Bed
I'm a little late to the party with this blog post, considering it is about a bit of telly from last week.
The TV show I am referring to is Four in a Bed. If you have never seen this programme before, you are missing out.
The gist of it involves four sets of bed and breakfast...
- Eva Braun’s Boys
With all these British comedies being withdrawn from television schedules and streaming services, due to historical instances of racism, I am hoping that the BBC will shortly be removing Mrs. Brown's Boys.
As far as I am aware, the series has never been accused of being racially offensive. I just want it gone because it's shit.

- Move Aside, Martin Lewis
I am sure that everyone knows the legend of Robin Hood - whether it be Prince of Thieves, the Walt Disney adaptation, or Men in Tights.
It therefore needs no introduction to the fact that he is said to have taken from the rich to give to the poor.
Tonight, Matthew, I will be Robin of Loxley...
