Yawned through a dull fillum last night on iPlayer. Underdeveloped script, parodying of the life of an author who can't write, all the clichés. So that YOU can avoid it, unless you're deeply tolerant, here's the link: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Good morning. Would you like some Castoria? What?
NO! DO NOT DRINK IT - it's for cleaning suede shoes.
Remember to don an apron to protect your gingham frocking.

Watching an old Grand Designs, and feeling a real desire to take Kevin McCloud by the sharp lapels of his fancy shirt and shake him like an old washcloth. He's so cheerfully cruel at times, making fun of the pretensions of others.

Worth remembering as this unfolds that it was disabled people and people from ethnic minority backgrounds who disproportionately died. Tens of thousands needlessly lost their lives, many who died alone or with just an iPad. Thousands more were left with life changing Long Covid. A true scandal.
