Picture an editorial meeting, somewhere near Birmingham. The Editor has had a great idea for a storyline; it is so good he tells everyone that we can get the new nasty Mr Big in a corner and then for weeks on end someone in the village can give him a good kicking. One week Jim can do it on behalf of the atheists; the next week Shula can do it on behalf of the Christians and so the listeners will know just how bad Mr Big is as everyone is against him. Plus the editor adds that we can have a single nonsensical social media posting from one of the more intelligent villagers which will inevitably go completely viral from a single review as it gets screenshot – highly unlikely – no-one could actually care and would not diss their friends; together with a stupid social responsibility audit (which strays far from reality) and everyone else (apart from Lynda who will serenely rise above everything) feeling sorry for themselves for not recognising an obviously hidden crime, which is successful because no one in real life would recognise it. And best of all we can ignore all the other activities in the village for weeks on end whilst we endlessly ram the point home at every possible opportunity!
Yes the entire village has lost collectively lost their heads over something so minor it would not in real life actually ever get mentioned. Meanwhile it looks like the tent flaps have been in operation at Lower Loxley after a long fallow period and the podcast hardly mentions it.
