Patriot might not be of the last ten years by now. It doesn't matter that I say this, by the way. Patriot has a forcefield that stops people watching Patriot. But it's better than FAM and less rated (yes, yes, I know these things are subjective, but it is)

(As soon as I say that, I worry it's like a lot of the fights we want because the fight is pure: it would end up as one long (bad faith) news story of how it proves the BBC is leftist and contribute to the destruction of something amazing and irreplaceable.)

You're right. It's a law case I'd like to see fought (for fun)

(We held ourselves - and were held by our brilliant BBC director - to higher editorial standards when writing plays about Boeing and Putin. And, sure, pressure of budgets and time, but our budget was a lot lower than Panorama's.)

(Yes, the arguments pro-T and anti-BBC are almost all in wilful bad faith but: I'm so angry with Panorama that I can hardly speak. They knew exactly what their enemies wanted and they gave it to them. The Head of News - if that is the senior line-manager - should have been sacked, not resigned.)

Too soon.

Treats

Also, I am eager to see the next act, whose nose you see appearing like a High-Marvel-Period post-credit sequence

I have watched it eighty times
