As usual, not supported seriously (or comically) by the Beeb. I am looking forward to seeing this. A-lalla-lalla-rumba-kamanda-lindor-burúme

While it wasn't necessarily up there with Red Dwarf - which would be asking a lot - it was definitely watchable and struck me as the sort of show that probably needs multiple viewings to appreciate the smaller details. Bring it on! He plays racquetball and runs in the rain Still he's shackled to a platinum chain

Alpha Grade Posts: 2064 Joined: 16.01.22	Good evening. I have had a very trying day with a man called Henry Lomynour, who in 1381 sued half the population of Norfolk (or so it seems) for an attack on his house during the peasants' revolt - then, when they turned up in court he said that these weren't the people he meant, but a whole lot of other people with the same names. Most annoying! So looking forward to something to take my mind off him!

Okay, then I won't tell you that in the last episode, the whole crew is massacred by the red shiny robots of Vortis with Henderson as the last man standing smiling into the camera. Ooooops.

Except that the cathedral is ugly; at least from the outside. I never mustered the courage to visit it to look at the inside.
