Which is ironic, considering that some people on here were clutching their pearls a few weeks back about the 'fact' that Nigel Farage and Reform were getting all the media attention. It all evens out in the end. These things shall pass.

The trauma of moving all those books last time has made me decide to die in this house. Probably when all of my books fall on me.

Is it wrong if me to believe that 'Double Indemnity' is the sequel to 'Single Indemnity', and that a planned 'Triple Indemnity' was never made?

You mean it's not a script at all? Clever!

He was my boss for a while (by which I mean he was at the top of the food chain, about eight levels above me). Very much admired by his immediate staff, I understand.

Where were they forty years ago, when you couldn't throw a sausage roll in Soho without hitting a prostitute, a sex 'club' or a porn cinema. It's paradise now, in comparison.

Or is the the eighth adventure of the 5th Doctor and James Macfarlane? I can't remember. But it's set in Persia in 1905 and contains a callback to a story I wrote for one of the Decalog collections.
