Lots of snogging and the grooming of children for sex... how the BBC has turned D1ckens into soap opera
Two young lovers kiss in a doorway as they embark on a passionate affair - while a girl is groomed for sex by her guardian.
The story of three spunky teenagers on the loose in London sounds like an episode of the BBC's flagship soap EastEnders. In fact it is the corporation's controversial adaptation of Charles D1ckens's Bleak House, which has been filmed in the style of a television soap opera.

The new £8 million series, billed as the drama highlight of the BBC's autumn schedule, will ape the style of a television soap - complete with its own prime slot, immediately after EastEnders.
Whole article can be viewed above. Basically what is shows a total lack of creativity, regardless of how much money they have to spend. They reduce classics to the dumbed down simple elements of sex and violence. Then after affecting the youth of the society, resulting in binge drinking, ever decreasing ages of girls getting pregnant, violence just for the hell of it, selfishness and a lack of refinement, they then blame whichever government in power for not doing enough to stop it. What should be stopped for a start, is the output of the BBC.
There again, if the government continues to pander to this greedy, corrupt, and brain dead corporation, in a way they are to blame.
