BBC Two - Small Prophets, Series 1, Episode 1 A mystical recipe promises answers to the whereabouts of Michael’s missing girlfriend.

For anyone who enjoyed Detectorists you’ll love the new BBC series from Mackenzie Crook, Small Prophets. We have just binge watched all 6 episodes. Lovely bit of surreal supernatural escapism from all the shitty news going on in the world right now…

Just binge-watched the whole of Small Prophets and all I can say is Mackenzie Crook is a genius. Watch it.

Small Prophets on iPlayer is a gem of a programme. Michael Palin is superb.

Weren't we all Keir, weren't we all.

Don't get all uppity because someone lied to you for their own ends when you did exactly the same.

We all chose to either believe or disbelieve. Those who chose to believe voted for you.

I wasn't fooled, just like 60% of voters.

Mandelson never had any money. That was his weakness. #newsnight

If it wasn't for Mandelson I don't think we would have starmer.

This is a big problem for labour.
