A topic from Film, TV & Radio: Soaps

From the BBC webiste:

The Archers' very own VIP visitor has caused controversy in what the Daily Telegraph is calling Biscuitgate.

It reports that dozens of listeners accused the show of product placement.

One of the characters seemed to be promoting Duchy Originals shortbread while talking about a visit to Ambridge by the Duchess of Cornwall.

A BBC spokesman tells the paper the reference was editorially justified and set the tone for the Duchess's cameo appearance on Wednesday.

I heard the episode in question and didn't see anything wrong in the reference made to Duchy originals. Ian was concerned as a good chef would be that his bshortbread wouldn't stand up to comparison.

Is The Telegraph just trying to make up a story because there is so little occuring in the real world at the moment or are some people just that little bit too up themselves and have not a lot else to do, or did the BBC plant the story to raise the profile of this episode?
