I think one of the things I like about soap scenes is there is obviously usually an elaborate plot and build up to things.

I remember that mud fight well, it was one of the better soap scenes. There was also a good fight in a fountain on Coronation Street within the last few years. Great wetlook scene.

It would be so nice if we still had a Saturday night entertainment show running that included a proper gunge tank vote (not with Edmonds though. Jesus, no - weird little goblin creep.) and so, a la the classic Nicola Stapleton scene, you could have the audience / public vote on who deserved to sit down and get covered, even if it was more about the characters than the likely very nice and lovely actors.

Or a semi-scripted scene where they turn up and (whether they "know" in advance or are cajoled by the host) and get placed in a tank - or another elaborate device - on some pretext. Could imagine that with so many people.

Ali Bastian, formerly of Hollyoaks and Doctors, is currently floating my boat. Although it's not usually my favourite gunging method, I like the thought of her being dropped in a tank of gunge.
