The really frightening thing about that statistic is that for every one like me, there must be 200-250 people with no books at all.

I'm thinking more of ones that get reworked, and/or appear in multiple media. So William Tell might be one, at least in the anglosphere.

Good heavens! I was completely unaware of those.

Well, Roy Rogers was a person. You couldn't recast him!

Similarly, the scarf helps in Resolution and Villa Diodati, and the reversed coat breaks up the neckline by placing light bands at the collar between the dark areas of the coat and shirt.

It's the coat that's the big problem: too light in both senses. The collar lies absolutely flat, and is often the same colour as the shirt, making the whole neckline featureless - not a good idea on TV, which relies on close-ups. The reveal coat and hoodie and the tux with bow tie work much better.

It actually says "crochety," rather than crotchety! I'd never noticed before. Perhaps he was into handicrafts.

I shall have to wear sunglasses when I post. Good episode - if a little hard on Sinatra!

I learned about Grace Darling as a schoolboy in Coventry, which is about as far as you can get from the sea on this island.
That was long ago, of course.

Thank you, too!

You may need to work the kinks out of that critique.

Nah ... couldn't be.

Good-looking, thick-necked bottle blond(e) in a long pale coat, with colourful stripes on their top underneath?

Where are the postal mongooses of yesteryear?

In Icelandic we have 'Ókind' for monster. But the translation is un-sheep. So everything not a sheep is dangerous.

FWIW, i've found that always clicking "not interested" or "don't show channel" on review or reaction videos does eventually train the algorithm not to suggest them. But it takes a long time.

I actually quite like Praxeus, and Kerblam! is good right up to its evil "moral". But "Lucky Day" was a story where every single character had to have been hit with an idiot stick to act as they did.
