This thread is far more addictive than Scrubs now, I would even go so far as to say COMEDY GOLD.

BTW, Frith, wasn't Charles Dickens infact a soap script writer? When he wrote for example Oliver Twist, I'm pretty sure I remember reading that he published weekly or monthly editions of his stories in either newspapers or journals so as to keep public interest and changed the plots depending on public demand. Is this right or have I believed a load of waffle for a long time?

Anyway, apparently his stories became addictive in this way, ending on a cliffhanger at each issue...... but without the da da da da da Eastenders theme music of course.
