Yes, it is being dumbed down for our younger generation. Why else are we being subjected to grown celebrities trying to squeeze through gaps in a polystyrene wall to avoid being dumped in a tank of water? And this at prime-time on Saturday! This is really scraping the barrel.
But our credibility is also being stretched every which-way on a regular basis now. Having created presentable characters with clearly defined modes of behaviour, the latest scriptwriter (they give everyone the chance nowadays) completely changes this behaviour in order to fit the latest storyline! So we have previously mild-mannered individuals suddenly becoming irrational and prone to violent rage. (Ken Barlow - Coronation St) or a criminal psychologist being unable to understand his own behaviour (Dr Tony Hill - Wire in the Blood). Are we really expected to swallow all this? - apparently so.
