Final whistle

There's been a lot of speculation recently about the future of FOOTBALLERS WIVES. Ratings are down, a mostly-new cast are struggling to carry the show, and some weeks it seems like good old Tanya Turner is the only thing worth watching. And by some weeks, we mean all of them.

Well today, LOWCULTURE doesn't give a toss about Footballers Wives! Yes, you did read that correctly. They could take it off forever this very morning and we would not shed a tear. That's because we're still on medium-strength horse tranquillisers following yesterday's announcement that Sky One's original football 'n' fucking soap, DREAM TEAM, is to end next year after the 10th series.

Producer Jane Hewland has been unusually candid about her feelings on the matter.

"I am so relieved," she told Media Guardian. "For the last four years it has been a bit of a nightmare doing it, it feels like a kind of liberation.

"We've been the Kwik Save of drama. Not a good place to be."

The Kwik Save of drama it may have been, but LOWCULTURE loves a bargain, and we'll really miss the Team – especially the wonderful creation that is club chairwoman Lynda Block – when they go.

In the meantime, you can catch the final episodes of series 9 on Sky One every Sunday at 8pm, and viewers with Freeview can enjoy some classic series 6 action each afternoon at 5pm on Sky Three.

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.
