STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs
The downward spiral of British soap operas continues with Night & Day,an atrocious effort that fails to hit a single right note.Even after seeing just three episodes,it was more than enough for this viewer.Terrible acting (Lesley Josepth and Joe McGann should know better),flat,uninteresting stories and a complete lack of structure are the domineering faults here.It's unfair to expect a viewer to be into every single one going,but for the ones I watch,soaps aren't the best sort of TV to watch at the moment.I don't watch Brookside or Emmerdale,but I know that EastEnders is easily the best out the lot of them.Gripping storylines,engaging characters and just really brilliant all round.That deserved to win Best Soap.I've never got into Home & Away since it came back on,Neighbours isn't great,and Coronation Street plummets newer depths with each unbearable new episode.But this is lamer than Crossroads,and if they're debating whether or not to axe that,I can only see this lasting until about,er,the end of February.*
