Title: Superficial Soap
Product review: The characters make no sense, nor do their circumstances, nor do the way they resolve their dilemmas, and it takes much too long to cover any narrative territory. If the woman who had the abortion was so upset about having to take that decision, why did she do it, and what claim does she have on our sympathies given that she lies to her husband regularly? That bad a marriage is a problem rather than a drama, and given how awful the woman is, why doesn't her best friend run off with the husband? The idea that dividing a grammer school into competing groups as a way to improve education is laughable. These students are not interested in learning no matter how much they are begged to do so. Why bother? It might have played better as a farce about trying to improve schools rather than as a soap trying to come to grips with a social problem.
