The BBC Stoops To A New Low
BBC series Casualty, Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Holby City and Hollyoaks will join together to air a virtue-signalling ‘climate change’ storyline, which will air in the first week of November.
The Daily Mail reported on October 12th:
Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale are among a number of soaps joining together for the very first crossover episode.
The storyline will be focused on climate change and will begin airing from November 1.
Soap queen Sharon Marshall appeared on This Morning to announce the news and hailed it as “amazing”.
She told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: “It’s the first time it’s ever been done. In November, we’re going to be having the world’s first soap crossover. Now for the first time, all five British soaps – and our continuing dramas – they’re all going to come together and tell the same story at the same time. That story is going to be climate change.”
Among those involved include Casualty, Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Holby City and Hollyoaks.
She continued: “All of these people have been talking about it in secret for months and months to make this work and what they’re each going to do is film a scene, have a reference that is going to cover a different aspect of climate change and – this is the fun bit – a soap first.
“You’re going to see all the programmes do a nod to the other and characters will start popping up from one soap in another soap on screen. That has never been done before.”
A social media video featuring two of Emmerdale’s residents will also be shown to Corrie characters, while one of Doctors stars will be shown to Corrie characters.
Meanwhile, Casualty will be discussed in The Woolpack and a social media clip from Weatherfield will be talked about in The Queen Vic.
Emmerdale’s Executive Producer Jane Hudson came up with the idea and has been in contact with other soap producers.
She said: “Never before have all five soaps and both continuing dramas come together and united in telling one story. And we certainly haven’t seen characters pop up in other shows before. This is a real treat for our audience, whilst also allowing us to get across a very important message.”
While BBC Studios’ Head of Continuing Drama Kate Oates said: “I’m thrilled that our soaps and serial dramas have all come together to help highlight the issue of climate change amongst our millions of viewers. We’re grateful to the teams that made this happen, and hugely look forward to seeing the talent from our own shows popping up in other iconic programmes.”
Hollyoaks boss Lucy Allan added: “We know how important climate change and environmental issues are to our youthful audience, and to all soap viewers. It has been great to work together on an engaging way to, hopefully, inspire conversations about issues that are so important.”

Emmerdale Executive Producer Jane Hudson may well describe this virtue-signalling dross as a ‘treat for our audience’, but the best way I can think of to describe it is an utter disgrace.

The lies started long before the BBC propaganda and it was in the dumbing down of education which instructs children what to think based on emotional nonsense rather than facts. I hate to think what is being taught in science lessons but it cannot be any known physics.

I wonder,
If no amount of evidence, real science or honest debate can derail the AGW scam, what about going after the root cause of it all — the 0.1%?
OK, we could argue that “97%” of the money all billionaires and multi-millionaires made were attained through the over-utilization of fossil fuels, in turn releasing excess GHG and directly causing this CAGW — and, to remedy that — THEY SHOULD FIT THE BILL!
If this notion gets grip, I bet we would see BBC (and all others) reeking about the coming ice age and how foolishly wrong we were about any warming.
Cheers, JaKo

For weeks now, Scottish Television has been indoctrinating its audience with constant climate crisis adverts, useless covid adverts and a plethora of dumb public health ads.
The government has been pleading with residents of Glasgow to house some of the COP26 fuckwits for free. Mixed message there given the 26,000 people flying in with no vaccination passport and all that wasted jet fuel.
I am heartily sick of the conspiracy theories and disinformation propagated from our tin foil hat governments.

In New Zealand we are getting the same crapo in all of our media, print and electronic.
Plus Coro is a great favourite with NZers. Personally I never watch any soaps, preferring to live my own life rather than vicariously living fictitious other’s lives.
