Who remembers the TV show 'Bread?' How ze hell was that ever popular? As far as I can recall it was a show about a family of scouse benefit fraudsters who lied and cheated in order to extract as much money from the state as possible so none of them would ever have to work. Am I missing something? That was the premise of the show no?
Forget for a moment the fact that nothing Carla Lane ever wrote was really funny, what with her being a man hating feminist lezza; just a series of jokes that began "men are like .....attach derogatory metaphor," how did the tax payers of our great nation ever warm to this show? I can understand the pinko commie sympathising BBC directors thinking this was a hoot, but it was aired during the height of Thatchers Bwitain and if there's something that got every one's goat during that time it was a family of sponging scallies. Still does in fact. Very odd.
