			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ITV finally managed to show the premier of their <a href="http://www.itv.com/Drama/contemporary/Sold/">original drama, Sold</a>, last night. They&#8217;ve been trailering it for a <strong>very</strong> long time, letting us all know they&#8217;ve managed to pull <a href="http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a79056/marshall-bt-adverts-changed-my-life.html">Kris Marshall away from his BT vision</a>.</p>
<p>Despite the endless hype attempts, the show was rubbish! Revolving around the party-hard life of estate agents, who acted more like share-holders during the .com boom. The pilot followed a classic underdog story — Colubrine (a less-than-fair-playing estate agency) bought out a failed back water estate agents and inherited Danny (a bit of a loser with a moral compass). After a week of no sales he took a severe mocking. However, Danny&#8217;s obsession with doing the right thing won out in the end and he outsold everyone else and got called <q>the prodigal son</q> by a man on a big screen (obscure, I now&#8230;). Huzzah!</p>
<p>It was all pretty boring stuff, nothing we haven&#8217;t seen before and lacking any great scripting/acting to make up for it. ITV&#8217;s got a history of bringing out these <q>cutting edge</q> original shows, generating serious hype around them and then axing them fairly soon in, anyone remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycoon_(TV_series)">Tycoon</a> or <a href="http://www.tv.com/sweet-medicine/show/21456/summary.html">Sweet Medicine</a>?</p>
<p>ITV may be upping it&#8217;s <a href="http://teevieo.com/itv-just-keeps-getting-better">sports and news content</a>, but seriously, can they not produce a decent drama? Come on ITV!</p>
