evening all
while working at a phone help desk I got asked for the number of the local police, as the lady phoning in had seen a documentary on TV and wanted to complain about the blatant police brutality shown. After much descriptiveness from said woman, I finally guessed correctly that for the past 5 years or so she had thought that there was a documentary series shown on ITV a couple of times a week called 'The Bill'. The squawk of astonishment when I told her it was a soap opera like 'Coronation street' is still ringing in my ears.
