Junta’s three years in power to be covered in TV series

By The Sunday Nation

 

 

The ruling junta will start broadcasting a 12-episode television programme from today covering its achievements over its past three years in power.

 

The episodes will be aired on every TV channel as a special edition of “Thailand Moving Forward” every Sunday for 12 weeks from 6pm, shortly after the Anthem is played in the evening, National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) spokeswoman Colonel Sirichan Ngathong said yesterday.

 

Today’s first episode is about efforts to lift civil aviation standards after Thailand was “red-flagged” by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). 

 

“This is one of the country’s problems being tackled by the government and the NCPO. The goal is to increase Thai standards in civil aviation to meet international levels,” Sirichan said.

 

Other episodes would cover matters such as educational reform, tackling economic woes, helping farmers and people with low incomes, maintaining peace, and problems from global treaties.

Juntas 3 years in power, a new tv series.

Promises to be more far fetched and ridiculous than most ThaI  soaps.

The viewing figures will show that every adult Thai tuned in.

 

Figures courtesy of TAT, they're good at fiction.

Somebody hasn't quite got to grips with dictionary definitions !

They will have three episodes on fixing lottery prices and spend the rest of the time on the war on beach chairs.

A tragi/comedy?

 

Thank goodness for android boxes!

[Chang_paarp]

I bet there will be a lot of advertising on these shows to fill out the time needed to 12 weeks of pap.

[Reigntax]

Obviously with a history/fiction/comedy classification

[wakeupplease]

Oh my poor people, they turn the sets off on Fridays and now this, thank heavens for Facebook.

I have seen many totally ridiculous ideas since moving here, but this sinks stupidity to previously uncharted depths.

More waste of money.

A party political broadcast on behalf of the greens? Sadly sounds like its going to be long one.

Yep. As they say "Truth is stranger than fiction." 

[harada]

Mute button.

I imagine the series won't mention the submarine-fiasco ?

 

But perhaps there will be some favourite recipes, using matured-rice ?

[darksidedog]

I'm not sue why they need 12 episodes. Covering the juntas achievements could be well documented in under 12 minutes.

[nikmar]

Education reform????????

So if it's covering the achievements in 3 years, how can it be a 12 episode series? Looks like a 1h special would be pushing it hard already.

 

They should turn that into a drama and give the actor for Prayut extra salary....and a mask/voiceover as to not compromise his real life, nevermind that said actor should've been smart enough to turn the role down.

Can't wait...!

Will it be on Netflix?

 

House of Cards - Thai style ?

[Somtamnication]

What will the title be? Groundhog Day?

[klauskunkel]

will the generals act themselves or will they recruit from the soapie pool?

[canuckamuck]

Will they do an episode on how they protected voters during the last election to ensure everybody's right to free and fair elections.

Oh I forgot, they stayed home that day.

[Ulic]

That is one way to put the "proper" spin on things.

It would be worth watching if Kenneth Williams were around to play Prayuth... 'Carry On Couping'...
