Yasmin’s Getting Married was ten years ago… if that’s the only “flop” that Ten can identify from the last ten years then they’ve got some serious blinkers on. The network has been through breakfast shows, reality renovation shows, reality dance shows, reality soaps (e.g. The Shire) and some forgotten dramas… but Yasmin is the one that gets the gong?
