The Devil is a patriot, a proper party man
After a weekend of worsening listlessness, brainlessness, and general malaise, I finally saw a doctor and seem not to have any of the currently circulating plagues, but was sent home with a new inhaler and instructions to medicate myself like the nineteenth century on account of my lungs sounding terrible. I would so very much like to be able to think about anything that matters to me. Have some links.

thisbluespirit: a substantial cache of British television plays on YouTube, as usual for however long it takes for the BBC to notice.
2. Courtesy ofdavidgillon: the ongoing investigation of HMS Erebus on the clock of climate change. I had somehow forgotten the pre-printed Admiralty equivalent of a black box recorder.
3. I had occasion last night to share Donald Swann's recording of "Lord of the Dance," from his Sydney Carter-penned EP Songs of Faith and Doubt (1964). I am never going to get over the existence of this version and I also happen to like it.
4. I am delighted that the latest bog body discovery went through the normal stage of checking out a recent homicide before settling on the Ice Age, but I really love the universal and automatic association with Seamus Heaney.
5. Ainsley Hawthorn's "The Sea, Like Glass" (2024) is a marvelous haunting of sea and selves.

No - about equal, as both time periods went on the same time and while two actors were simultaneously in both, but they were only in the separate scenes.
(1970s Martin Jarvis is frequently either a) Period drama hero or b) person who looks like a perfect period drama hero but is in fact rotten to the core. If it's not a classic lit thing where you know the story already, you just lay your bets as best as you can and see how it goes. XD)
I have never tried to rewatch it. Every now and then I feel that I should, just to see what it looks like to me now that I actually watch movies, and then I don't think I have enough clementines.
It would certainly have a lot of familiar faces in it now. At the time Little Sis was deeply into Leo. She also watched Romeo + Juliet a lot, so she enjoyed her Tragic Teen Fave a lot!!
