Why is it that at the start of almost every
TV programme, listings of the main characters are put up with no indication of
which part they are playing?
Frequently, this can also go unremedied at the end
of the programmes.
On Sky TV in particular, cast lists are made
unreadable at the end as they are minimised and the bulk of screen space is used
to advertise forthcoming programmes.
Is it really necessary for viewers to have to go
online to find out who was playing which character?
