Soap stars fear of an HD Emmerdale
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008What would Richie and Eddie say?
The cast of ITV soap Emmerdale were apparently not too keen when producers told them that Britain’s third most-watched soap is to be filmed in HD.
Over the years, the West Yorkshire village has been rocked by fires, murders, explosions, the collapse of local pub the Woolpack as a result of the infamous Emmerdale Plane Crash, but nothing has prepared the actors for high-definition telly.
According to New! magazine, the cast are reportedly terrified of the prospect of their show being filmed in HD. A source crowed: “The HD format of the show promises to show every wrinkle, every blemish and every eye-bag. The women especially are worried they are going to be made to look awful!”
Lucy Pargeter (pictured), who plays feisty Chastity Dingle told New!: “We all held our breath because we’d heard all the horror stories. However, it was fine – if you don’t look too closely!”
