My god, I've been in a bit of a state since last night. I watched, as usual, Silent Witness, and right at the end Harry got shot dead and set alight! I couldn't believe my eyes. Fortunately it's a two parter, showing tonight, and apparently there's some question as to whether he really has been killed. Frankly, I can't see how he could have survived, what with being shot several times in the face and being set on fire, but there you go. The BBC do wonderous things nowadays.

...With a mighty bound, he was...
NCIS have had some cliffhangers like that; but sometimes they really have been dead.

I am relieved. He's not dead. He managed to set fire to the other bloke. Thank the lord.
All based on a true story.

See, it was With a mighty bound he was free after all. Or unburned up anyway.
When Kaitlyn got a bullet through her head in NCIS she really was dead.
But when Tony's car got blown up, the body in it turned out not to be his (they could tell because it hadn't had I think it was pneunomic plague, which he had had).

 Really? What true story? (That should really be a   what true story?) I've been wondering about true storyism in Silent Witness ever since Harry and Nicky investigated a Death on the Staircase which was blatantly a retelling of the Death on the Staircase documentary (which was the best thing ever on television along with: Phil Spector - The Agony and the Ecstasy; and Bleak House). All BBC, you'll note. Relieved as I am to find Harry still alive, when will someone notice that these three supposedly state pathologists solve all the crimes, not only in their own country but in everybody else's too, and therefore there are a lot of police - worldwide - being paid for doing absolutely nothing.  On the very rare occasion that the famous five* three pathologists don't solve the crime, the secret seven* Waking the Dead cold case team do.  * I'm serious. WtD is the grown-up Secret Seven and SW is the grown-up Famous 5. When the evil policeman handed a file through a car window to a suspicious looking extra, I found myself saying ''blah blah blah... secret tunnel... blah blah blah... kidnap Harry..."...... aloud.

Now here's something. "Blah blah blah". Mr. E. often resorts to that when he's telling me something that happened at work: "And I said to him, you know, blah blah blah" (cue Me to interject with "Yeah, well if you said proper words, maybe they'd have understood you" and cue him to get all cross with me for interrupting his flow) |

He'll never know. I've got Ray locked up in the cellar. What a bloody racket he's making down there! All bloody day and all of the bloody night. Harry's next, whoever he is. |

He's called Harry. He's really got me. "Set me free!" Ray's bawling, over and over. Sounds like a bloody apeman. I must admit I can't take much more of it. I'll keep him there till the end of the day and then discuss it with Lola. |

I have cheered myself up — a bit — with retail therapy. I just downloaded this in MP3 format . . .  44 tracks. That must make my Kinks collection as complete as I could possibly want. Some duplicates of what I already have? Yes, but it's still worth it. |

>sigh< and a slight weakening of the knees. I well remember when I was a 17-year-old apprentice, assigned to a part of the factory largely populated by ..er.. articulate women (embarrassing at times, but I never complained), there was a particularly womanly blonde ringleader who was rather bandy*. My craftsman mentor -- must've been about 60 - looked me in the eye and said, in his quiet way, "Pleasure bent." Not that I'm suggesting anything, of course. _____________ * Ian Dury, God bless him . . .
I bought a lot of brandy,
When I was courting Sandy.
Took eight to make her randy,
And all I had was shandy.
Another thing with Sandy,
What often came in handy,
Was passing her a 'Mandy',
She didn't half go bandy. |

I have that one on Good Old Fashioned (Ha!) "CD" (Whatever became of them - good job I didn't buy as many of 'em as with the vinyl that I still have - at least vinyl keeps coming back into fashion!  ) It's a very nice comprehensive collection. |
