Well, that was interesting, with some nicely atmospheric scenery, but actually rather less scary than last week's. I'm not finding these anything like as creepy as The Turn of the Screw, for example. Turn of the Screw was my O-level book. Had Henry V too. Explains my aversion to tennis balls And but for that O-level, you could have been Wimbledon champion . . . Lol. Well, my dicey second serve might also have been a factor. Fact of the day: I had a 100% record at university tennis. One match. One win. My opponent never showed up. |

I'm quite happy to watch anything next week too. I've got a copy of The Box of Delights (the book) and am looking forward to seeing if it makes more sense than the film. |

Would you like a break from the (not so) creepy next week and do a (re)watch of the Amazing Mr Blunden, a children's classic of yesteryear? What? Now? I've got to sort out some mince pies. The key words in there were NEXT WEEK you loon. Can we do a TISWAS rewatch? Please? If you can put together a highlights show...(cut the kids out. Except for that kid who sang Soldier soldier won't you marry me? Week after week)... I'll just put The Bucket of Water Song on a loop |

Heading off to Suffolk soon for a few days by the coast. Will take my trusty old trowel. 'What could possibly...' etc etc. |
