Way back in the mists of time, when public service television actually lived up to its name, BBC series such as PLAY FOR TODAY dealt with social issues in a manner calculated to raise awareness. Ken Loach's CATHY COME HOME (1966) offers a good example: following its first broadcast, the Labor government brought in new legislation to try and deal with an ever-growing level of homeless people.
I enjoy this. It is not in the so called great tradition of social realist drama but many find the Ken Loach pontificating a bit hard to take, as it is relentless, gruesome and grimy.
Basically, Shameless eat your heart out.This is a documentary that is basically about real life dossers on the rock and roll.
It could be a program based in Downing Street which includes stars such as David Cameron, George Orborne, Nick Clegg and Ian Duncan Smith.It could be used to promote anti-establishment propaganda.
