Peace descends on the skies over soap

The spat over the "Battle of Angels" television soap opera, which earlier this week caused anger among Thai Airways flight attendants leading to a real-life war between Exact, the show's producer, and people in the aviation industry, ended yesterday after a talk hosted by Culture Ministry.

The producer agreed to remove any fight scenes of characters in flight attendant uniforms, to make the uniform skirts two inches longer and to add some scenes showing cabin crew working hard for passengers.

"Battle of Angels" director Nipon Phewnena said the changes were not seen as damaging because he wanted everyone to be happy and feel better about the soap opera, and he affirmed this would not affect the story's intensity, continuity and entertainment.

Nipon admitted audience ratings had actually increased following the flight attendant's movement against it, although he insisted it was not the kind of ratings boost the producers were proud of. He said this had taught drama producers to work more carefully.

The Thai Airways International (THAI) Union acting chairman Somsak Srinuan said the union was satisfied with Exact's proposal and would keep a close watch for such improvements in the soap opera.
