There's a scene in the film Maitresse where you see horses being killed in a French slaughterhouse. It's quite disteressing, even if they are French horses.

And there's that Monty Python sketch too isn't there? And the Troy McClure educational film from The Simpsons ("Don't kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!") but those are all the slaughterhouse related jokes I can think of right now. Oh and this Chris Morris line:

"Like an abattoir in a power cut".

Has there ever been a sitcom set in a slaughterhouse? I see a sitcom on the telly set in an abattoir one of you f**kers is in for it!

You read my ex-slaughterhouse-based sitcom!

Of course, the slaughterhouse in the attic! Yes, I liked that bit. I wasn't so keen on all that 'temp agency' stuff mind.

Did the use of the word "so" mean they were possibly being ironic?

I don't think it was irony as much as emphasis...

It's been advised on this board time and time again that anything in a TV production setting should be avoided at any cost, as TV doesn't want it.

Yet I see Shane Ritchie is appearing as a TV producer in Whatever It Takes on ITV next week; a new drama series about people who get "famous without talent." (a la BB contestants)

I believe this drama has been on the shelf for nearly 2 years.

Surely that'd just be a shed full of cows
