Oh god that bus station for the overnight. So many times when I lived in Badajoz. Well, probably eight times but it felt like more.

A mate of mine did a survey of charity shops a few years after that and it was neck and neck between White Ladder and Sing When You’re Winning.

It’s when Australians start saying rancid old toot like ‘people will feel themselves privileged to have watched us’ that the game will truly have gone.

“Because it’s 2015”. I had the same thought earlier.

Maybe it’s alphabetical, and tomorrow lots of people whose names start with Li will get Amanda, Amandine and Ammaaandaaaaaa

I sympathise. It wasn’t a serious point anyway.

Ironically, that business park was where I worked at the time of both filming and broadcast. Have since left.

Well they were on a word count. Or something.

At working out crimes and who done’em. Once he is cut an unfeasible amount of slack for not being able to do the other bits.
December 30, 2024 at 8:40 PM
Of course not. Never claimed otherwise.

But didn’t know what many basic terms of art in police work meant.

* into him being suddenly incapable of doing his job.

* not working out the man was suddenly incapable of doing his job

Again, that’s a valid opinion to hold. ‘The <unlikely profession> who catches criminals’ is a trope as old as TV and has been mocked many times (Fast Show, etc). But it’s also valid to have a line, and the Guardian reviewer thought it crossed his.
