TV channel commissioners keep going back to producers who can deliver a certain type of show. The people who made Wife Swap will always be asked to make different shows in the same vein, just as my company will always be near the front of the queue if a funny-blokes-sitting-in-chairs show is required. The difficult thing is breaking out of your area of specialism into another genre of programme. I can see that my great new idea for a classical music-based show is going to have to overcome a few hurdles; one being that I know nothing about classical music. But you have to keep pushing the edges to avoid being pigeon-holed; a lesson I think this tradesman could learn:
I haven't cheated this - there isn't a sign on the other side saying, "We also do Scotch Eggs and Gala Pies", he really is dedicated to Escalopes. His name is The King Escalope. I admire the fellow's dedication but I worry about his long-term future.
Fear not. The King Escalope has been around for years (at least 6 – that's as long as they've been delivering to the cafe at the end of our road). It's a staple food in parts of London.

I order mine from the Organic Chicken Escalope delivery service. :)
