X-rated Agatha

Flush with the success of Footballer's Wives, ITV1 is planning a bold successor.
Instead of coming up with an original idea, though, they've plumped for a mutant hybrid of Footie Wives and Agatha Christie.
A remake of the murder mystery Sparking Cyanide will hit our screens soon, with the action transplanted to the world of professional football to give the classic story a contemporary twist.
It's good news for perverts – there will be nudie bits.
Purists need not worry, though, as the producers only plan to change the plot, characters and setting.
Whatever next – a new series of Miss Marple with Jordan in the title role? Or Poirot, starring Barry from EastEnders?

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
