Sun Mat two is the radio play Paul Temple:
… already mentioned earlier. We need a few radio plays for when we need to rest the tired eyes and let the hours fly by.
Sun Mat three is here:

Most reviews were dismissive and perhaps at the time, that washed, but in 2026, it’s a good romp with a reasonable Powell type main man and cute offsider, in my and a few youtube commenters’ eyes too.

9. Many people in very real trouble now

7. Crossing that red line
6. Who are the extremists?
… poor Canadian guy could not get a word in edgeways.
Not sure this gritty episode is my fave of the series, plus they underused Lola Albright methought … in a later series, she sets up her own nightclub. Both were good, the detective was good, Mother was good. Might pause at 10 episodes, they’re easily found on the tube.
(0456) Sounds wet outside. (0603)
5. My question about this might surprise
Yes, of course I agree on the general thrust of the item but I have another question … and DAD might like to answer it … what’s an 89 year old man (trudging, walking stick) doing driving in today’s nightmare conditions? Not only this:
… but also the danger to girls and the elderly out there, even with spray or walking stick … they attack in packs, the cowards, inc. the new feral yoof. Plus we do start slowing down … fine at our own pace but that’s not the pace that lot are going at in their manic digital world.
Plus one does NOT wish to see the inside of a hospital or care home … you all know why.
On the other hand, independence, freedom, which is the core reason for Orphans (the site) to exist by the way, is fiercely protected as Them move to remove it … I for one can understand that.

2. Another Paul Temple
This new one is from the days of DR and NO, making it an old one … in fact the earliest I remember ever listening to in the series and yes, like Fido, I had completely forgotten the chief baddy, the evil mastermind … in fact, in my case, got it wrong … I should have known but ignored the signs. Well worth a listen:
… and you’ll notice it’s under the last one run here. That seems the best way.

a) French Greens split over rallying behind Mélenchon [Far Left] for presidency. Calls to drop the party’s own candidate and back the left-wing veteran are growing louder, though its 2022 standard-bearer Yannick Jadot has defected to rival Raphaël Glucksmann [Socialist].
b) ‘They did not speak French’ – French teen Constant finally speaks out after being kidnapped, robbed, and beaten into a 6-day coma. Constant obtained an apprenticeship, headed to work at 5 a.m., and played by the rules. The French government failed to protect him, and authorities have only arrested one suspect while the other two remain on the loose, possibly ready to strike again.
c) Women vote Left, Men vote Right: the growing Gender Divide. Nearly half of German women now refuse to date men who support conservative parties, reflecting a growing political divide between young men and women reshaping relationships across the West.
d) Labour’s Asylum Hotel Closures Hide Terrifying Reality. Britain is housing over 93,000 illegal migrants in taxpayer-funded accommodation, with 78 percent now in non-hotel settings including army barracks despite government pledges to end asylum hotels.
e) DAD has a warning and meme with some very unpleasant mugshots.

21. The sheer amount of reading, watching and listening just now
… is beyond the minutes of the day. There’s also a new (old) Paul Temple I’m going through, plus things coming thick and fast via email. Plus check out Seward, Alaska, Gog and Magog.
Plus your writings in comments and at NOWP.

7. DAD at 1477
My visitors tired me greatly, I missed my after-lunch siestas. Last night (Friday 28/08/2026) I went to bed early and slept to (I thought) 0h55). I switched on the radio to hear the midnight news (01h00 French time), but I was surprised to hear Dr Aseem Malhotra discussing injuries suffered by some partakers of the Covid jollop. As I listened I realised that the programme was almost at the beginning. I realised that I must have miss-read the digital clock, it was actually 0h35.
That the BBC would have such a programme was remarkable. I understood that it is one of a few in the series “Doctors’ Orders: Everything Is Fake and Nobody Cares“
