A NEW TV show started on Tuesday night and featured the fictional town of Baselricky seemingly a cross between Basildon and Billericay.
However The Wright Way, a BBC1 sitcom, has been met with criticism. The show which stars David Haig as Gerald Wright, an exasperated local council health and safety officer, lost viewers whilst it was on air.
Twitter users gave mixed reviews of the first episode which started at 10:35pm on Tuesday, April 23.
The Diary of a DIL, tweeting as @MrsEmmaHewitt, said: "What do you think of this new comedy based in Baselricky (Basildon/Billericay)? Has the BBC really lost its sense"
JonnyMaya, tweeting as @JonnyMaya, said: "Sorry is Baselricky a very cheap shot at Essex #thewrightway Basildon/Billericay . #Towie is Arthur Miller compared to this."
GrandMaster Tash tweeting as @danielvane, also slated the show saying: "Baselricky?..oh yeah I get it.. Basildon & Billericay..Very clever..Elton is on fire..no wait he should be on fire"
