Put your circuits in the sea

[sovay]

After years of not even being able to pirate it, spatch and I have finally just finished the first series of BBC Ghosts (2019–23), during which he pointed out to me the half of the cast that had been on Taskmaster. I recognized a guest-starring Sophie Thompson.

This article on the megaliths of Orkney got Dave Goulder stuck in my head, especially once one of the archaeologists interviewed compared the Ring of Brodgar to sandstone pages. "They may not have been intended to last millennia, but, now that they have, they are stone doors through which the living try to touch the dead."

I wish a cult image of fish-tailed Artemis had existed at Phigalia, hunting pack of seals and all.

Any year now some part of my health could just fix itself a little, as a treat.

The whole thing's on Kanopy! Christmas specials and all! I practically grabbed [personal profile] spatch by the front of his shirt! (In fairness to him, he was not actually resisting the idea.) We may or may not manage to watch all of it before it expires, given my pace of processing television and general state of flat. But at the moment we at least have the option.

Aw, good!

Obviously, the availability, not your flatness. *hugs*

Aw, good!

The other elusive BBC thing that has suddenly turned up on Kanopy is all the Mark Gatiss-penned installments of the revival of A Ghost Story for Christmas, The Tractate Middoth (2013) through Woman of Stone (2024). Not sure why not the earlier ones, but if they stick around, even if I argue with them, I will probably check them out.

Less flatness all round.
