You can’t be serious

TV Show The Bill (that one about the coppers that used to be good years ago, but which went pants when it became just another soap opera) got into hot water last week. They featured a story about a MS sufferer and in the course of the programme mentioned a drug called Plavitron.

Apparently, they’ve now been called “grossly irresponsible” because they made this drug up and have “misled” a number of people with the disease about available treatments.

I’m sorry but The Bill is not a factual programme; it is not reporting truth. It’s a drama - you know, made up - and as such has no responsibility to be at all accurate in what it portrays. While I don’t wish to mock the afflicted, some people obviously need a reality check.
