You’ll never convince me to watch Love Island….but you make some valid points about observation of others. I would suggest that more could be gained from spending time in a pub garden and that reality is less heavily edited than those programmes. I write theatre and am in the beginnings of a TV career — and so I view those programmes as taking up valuable air time and psychological space from stories that are well written and/or mattter. It all just turns me off — unlike your writing which was very well done indeed. :)
