Thought how surreal it is to see a nation’s leader out and about doing some shopping. Had his family with him and a small entourage, but it wasn’t swarming with shades-wearing security officers or anything.

Genuinely one of my favourite Streep performances, she sparkles so much in this show!

There are much bigger things to be worried about right now, but something like this is disappointing.
It’s certainly not what you’d want from a professionally restored commercial release of archive telly retailing at £55. Especially when earlier sets in the range have been wonderful!
