I finished watching Southland a few days ago and that was a BRUTAL end to a brutal series. I needed a break and as much as I love watching Severence and The Pitt weekly they're not exactly easy watches...

So I started A Touch Of Cloth. It's the perfect antidote. Same era as the last season of Southland but chock full of old school Airplane!-style daggy humour and bucketloads of puns. What a thoroughly silly show ๐Ÿ˜† "Natasha rang from the mortuary, says it's big." "Yes, I've been there before"

E: it's also such a send up of Line of Duty in particular. Great Susan of Nazareth!

I started watching Bridget Jones's diary movies because I'd never seen them. They're ok but a little frustrating.

The first one is a retelling of Pride and Prejudice, eg, Mr Darcy.

Oh ok.

She served her friends poison soup when there seems to be a lovely Greek restaurant across the road. ๐Ÿ˜
