Docusoap

How can you stomach that hokey docusoap?

The latest of a venerable franchise of docu-soaps, it opens, like its predecessors, with a voiceover giving the audience the lay of the promised land.

Nigel [Farrell] and Paul Sommers created the docusoap genre of programmes almost 20 years ago, applying the cliffhanger endings and multi-character storylines of soap operas to series such as The Village and Country House.
