A very Posh soap opera

BACK in the day, I was a confirmed TV soap watcher.

I loved Corrie. Teatime revolved around EastEnders. At the height of my addiction I would tune into Neighbours twice a day.

But school runs and a full-time job took over. My favourite on-screen characters died or left and the plotlines, at least to my ageing brain distracted by the drama of real life, simply didn’t cut the mustard anymore.

But there’s a new soap opera in town and in this always-on, digital age its audience is massive.

Let's be frank, here. Nobody really knows what’s going on with David and Victoria Beckham, their son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola.

That isn’t stopping the speculation about a family row, though, fuelled by daily articles across the web.
