“The prototype of every EastEnders story can be traced back to one
source:
David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lions’ Den, Samson and Delilah, Sodom
and
Gomorrah, the fall, all the Bible stories.”
“The sagas of Albert square are a saga of free will where the
individuals chose to be either good or bad but all of them have
knowledge of
the serpent.
“The good are always rewarded, the bad are always punished and
individuals are
tested to find out which camp they belong to.
“And if sometimes Albert Square seems a brutal and arbitrary place I
would
argue no more so than Biblical Egypt, Israel or the Garden of Eden.”
EastEnders' producer Jennifer Robbins, speaking at the Re:Think conference, quoted in the Telegraph.
God! She sounds pottier than Stoke-On-Trent.
PS You don't have to justify "low culture" by comparing it to "high".
