On the surface, it's a murder mystery. Underneath, it's about the communication issues involved with patriarchy, class, and men who are only comfortable expressing their emotions through conflict.
It took me several days to binge. I had to process it. Very much worthwhile. Would recommend.

Gone (2026) on ITV player:
This is intricate, twisty as shit, and very well written. The themes are subtle, and not expressed bluntly in any way you're bashed on the head by them.
Earlier, something in the room fell over by itself. My cat got big, scared eyes, frightened. I had to reassure her that it was ghosts. Just ghosts.

aeriel phenomena : unexplained Jellyfish.
Noises in house at night : It's cat. I don't have a cat, but it's cat.
Me, an insomniac, watching a show involving footage of an unidentified aerial phenomenon: YEAH, THAT'S CLEARLY A SKY JELLYFISH. ONE OF THOSE. YEAH.
British wildlife on our banknotes, you say? How about honouring our nation’s teeming population of leopards, panthers and pumas? There’s an extensive photographic record to draw from.

Hush hush but I've got a new job in the US
The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.
Shaking with anger: I came home to discover that these malted milk biscuits have cows on them and not Horatio Nelson! In this time of war!? We really need to do something about Big Biscuit being all woke.
Better than that, make it the badger from Bodger and Badger and make Mashed Potato Day a thing. Churchill would is memoralised enough I don't think he gives a shit tbh
Put badgers or something on £10 notes but one in every 100,000 has Paddington on and if you get one you die in 7 days.
I clocked up the hat-trick of Piers Morgan, Alan Sugar AND Keith Chegwin.
I think I genuinely annoyed the first two with snotty replies, whereas Cheggers, he was blocking everyone and I asked him "me too please" and the gent did me a solid.
Cheggers Plays Block.
They should put a monkey on the £50 note and a pony on the £10 note to confuse the hell out cockneys.
Love reading Frankenstein in public so I can occasionally say, “I guess we see who the real monster is.”
Happy Mario day!

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
Labour and Reform spent the whole campaign trying to convince us she was a nouveau riche Cheshire landlord but it never occured to them to call her Flash Gorton—for that alone, they deserved to lose.
Krishnan Gurumurthy just used the term "Nepo-Ayatolla" on the news.
Again, the business of British newspapers is in large part just recruiting and exploiting the most bizarre cranks you can find for your horrible, unrelenting reactionary projects. IIRC the one on the right here is the daughter of a Times arts columnist, who is also a committed Gender War wacko.
During a conversation earlier, where Tiny Niece was asking why there's a Batman, but a Batgirl- a man and child- and my sister was explaining that it's old fashioned, and I said it's men making us feel small, except I was sitting down:
Tiny Niece: BUT YOU ARE SMALL
Fair point, often.

My mother lives on the west hill. There is frequently different weather in the front and back gardens. Bizarre, brilliant place.
That’s Sme in the corner
