The only way to survive this German weapon is to treat it as entertainment. It would wipe the floor at the BAFTA's if this were the case. Plot lines as intricate as Bet Lynch’s Beehive. Death, incest, comedy, pathos, tension, irony, and that is just Princess Anne’s teeth. In recent years young aspiring actors have recognized this fact and have attempted to join the cast, the most successful being Princess Diana of Hearts (played by actress Diane Spencer, Frank’s niece). She had to be written out as she got a bit cocky and demanded too high a fee for subsequent episodes. Analogies can be drawn between characters of popular soaps and members of the Royal Family.
The Queen – Rita, Coronation Street.
Prince Phillip – Alf Garnet, Till death us do part.
Prince Charles – For many years Benny from Crossroads, but since the ‘I want to be your tampon’ episode Dirty Den, Eastenders.
Princess Anne – Olive from On the Buses.
Prince William – Bob Hope from Emmerdale.
The Royal Family has not been declared entertainment for tax reasons.
