I have noticed a steep decline in the quality of British films and television over the past few years and, with the exception of 'The Sex Lives of the Potato Men' and 'Life on Mars', I don't think I could name many half decent British films or TV shows.
Although I knew the industry had gone down hill, I never realised that it had reached the depths it obviously has until I read today that Dot Cotton (real name June Brown), that whingy old bat from Eastenders had been nominated for the 'Best Actress' award in this years BAFTAs.
Who exactly nominates people for these awards? Blind, half wit, tastless idiots? Personally I would have gone for the lovely Kate Beckinsdale or maybe the sexy Rachel Weisz or even Keira Knightly. At least none of them give you nightmares!!!
So lets see, what they are saying is that they think she is the best actress to appear in ANY film or TV show during the past 12 months. Well all I can say is that if its true, we should all sell our 46" plasma TVs and buy radios.
Ah now, the mere fact she has chain smoked her way through 20 years (or however long) on the most depressing programme on TV and has neither died of lung cancer or topped herself deserves merit!
ReplyDeleteThe main thing is, she looks so good on it as well.
ReplyDeleteWell done Dot, keep up the smoking
LOL, a fine example to us all x
