This ADVENT I've joined Hertshire police to assist with their current missing person investigation. Each day additional information comes in and to be honest I don't think we're any closer to cracking the case yet. However I'm confident it'll be over before Christmas. 🧐

Well. I liked The War Between the Land and the Sea. I don't know how many episodes there are but hopefully there are lots; these first two episodes have set the scene - plenty of places this can now go.
