The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Thought I’d get into the seasonal spirit so I brewed a spiced pumpkin latte porter. Comes in at 7.2%. A bit heavy on the coffee but hopefully that’ll fade a bit to let the spices shine.
