(1717) Evening all. Temp going down a degree an hour.

 

18. “Teachers” have much to answer for today

17. The overweening contempt from the political class

16. A tad puzzled

This afternoon, I was about to get some more politics together but saw various Paul Temple episodes, deleted one … Intervenes … the first, not very good … saw on the list:

… some excellent Coke-Westburies, e.g. The Geneva Affair … but then saw Madison, we’ve already run it, saw it was Logan-Stevenson and … well, I started listening, didn’t I. Yes, and it was one excellent episode, to the point I could not get away.

Realised that it was Gerda Stevenson who was the glue, yet vulnerable too, not an I Can Do Anything type who, quite frankly, is a bore. Yet GS turns more stories towards the solution than anyone. Brave too. Yes yes, it’s fiction … and yet … and yet. These episodes from 2006 to 13 have some je ne sais quoi. Why? Why? What do they have?

Anyway, nuff of that, back to the grindstone.
