The Who
Journey Man
Get set for the Soap Opera Overture, or SOO as Channel Nein call it. In episode one controversy raged, with the baddies taking an early advantage due to Video F'n Reffen. But in episode two the goodies, backs to the wall, withstand the pressure to set the scene for the climactic final episode.
Here's where the script writers borrow from the Bold and the Beautuful. You see, there is a goodie among the baddies. He has a heart of gold and, best of all, he's coloured. Now, the good-baddie is playing his last game (cue the violins). In a quivering voice he tells reporters - ad nausem for the three weeks leading up to his farewell - just how proud he is to have represented his homeland (no, wait, that needs a re-write. We'll substitute Fiji for Qld). The endless stories tell that no matter what the outcome of the match, our good-baddie will always be a winner. His teamates rally round. "We'll win it for the big fella" they chorus. Cue the tears. . .
Three bloody weeks of this. Channel Nein will milk it for all it's worth.
