TV cops in strappy tops

Yesterday, we promised more of the unique insights into the thought processes of a pair of useless TV executives that only some serious email tapping can provide. An all-action series about transvestite cops sounds like a winner to lowculture – let's hope someone else agrees!

Hey Sammy, Good to hear from you! Hope that all is well with the lovely Claire. I think your ideas have definite potential - the TV cops show is a brilliant idea. Let's face it, all of the other cop shows love to whack us around the head with how maverick their detectives are, and what's more maverick than a strappy top and a leopard-print mini?
I agree one of them should definitely be black, we wouldn't want to upset the diversity awareness people. Perhaps one of them could be a single parent as well? And we need the inevitable clashes with a stuffy, straitlaced boss, of course. Have you had any casting ideas? I think that's going to be crucial here.
Who was this bloke you were talking about it with, anyway? A new friend? And what's with all the kisses at the end, you old poof?

» Aargh, we are now officially trapped in development hell! Look, there are Rupes and Sam's emails, right there. Tell 'em what you think of their latest hare-brained ideas. Or click in the comments box and we'll pass it on. Or come back tomorrow for the next communique.

About Us

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.
