Product Placement: YM on BBC-1 "Death in Paradise"

[mjcoon]

YM's cover managed to get a flash on screen in tonight's first episode of this comedy/crime-drama. Showing was the cover and the "Confessional" page. But the only yacht that had a showing was a bit down-market...

Mike.

So which month's issue was it (ie when filmed)?

Solo sailing article on the cover

What a silly programme.
Presumably an excuse for the production team to get a paid for a holiday.

Apparently that is why many of the famous name guests feature in an episode - nice paid holiday in a great location

This is what we pay TV licences for. The BBC is a promotional vehicle for itself, the UK Government, celebs, big business etc etc.

Silly but fun, fab location and always good eye candy.

Might have been a Pandora, so not rubbish

"Down Market Yacht".

Nice bit of elitism there.

Presumably they should only make dramas that can be shot within 100 yards of Wood Lane?

Yes, I realise it's just a bit of fluff and it's easy on the eye, but a couple of scenes last night jarred my credibility.
1/ A junior policeman glanced at a packet, knew it was cocaine and immediately recognised both sets of fingerprints on it.
2/ The inspector saw a bottle on the beach and this proved that a toy soldier must have been dropped by the wife and that she was the murderer.

You won't enjoy star wars then.......

...every one of which, during my lifetime, at least, has been convinced it was a propaganda vehicle for the Opposition

Or, we pay the fee for things people will watch. It gets 7m viewers or so. Pretty healthy.

Hear Hear. What we want is more ads.

One of my favourite programmes, and many naive people buy boats in that condition so all good. Try to remember watching isn't compulsory. Ah, now for some thread drift. PBO article on how to use a TV remote control.

Well yes, we could just turn it off, but then we would lose the opportunity of a good old whinge.
Half the fun of watching TV is picking holes in the plot or continuity.
I've been trying to understand some of the storeylines in Lewis. So far I believe that the old boy is trying to chat up the young girl but all she wants to do is flog him a fancy armchair.
