[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 408263, member: 23"] Yes. As I was reading through this I found myself thinking how soon she'd get her wish. The "article" seems typical of the press [I]Xrds[/I] seemed to get at this time: snarky, dismissive and negative. It seems to represent the kind of viewer who publicly runs it down whilst privately watching and enjoying it (which she may well have been). Kingsley wrote a book on soaps around the time the series ended. I have it but can't put my hands on it at the moment, but I seem to recall she was even less happy with the series after her suggestions had been implemented. Or perhaps she just wanted to dump on the series no matter what it did. I thoroughly enjoyed 1981 [I]Xrds[/I] when I watched it last year. [/QUOTE]
