I see from social media that Donald Trump's family are raising concerns
about his health.

Are the scriptwriters creating a very clever parody, do we think?

A parody possibly. Clever ? Not so much.

I don't know if honourable umrats are familiar with the oeuvre of Eva St
John [1], namely the Quantum Creators and more recently the Flint in the
Bones series set in Norwich (where "Eva" hails from) and featuring a
struggle between the wild magic of the map-runners and the engineered
magic of the Practitioners who seem to me to be a version of the lanyard class.

I was lucky enough to be asked to proof-read the 3rd in this series
which was no work at all because I only found 3 typos [3] [4] and the
book was absolutely brilliant, best of them so far.

Apart from getting to read the book ahead of almost everyone, I will get
a credit at the back when it's published !

[1] a clever nom du plume for a Cornish author[2]
[2] and friend of Kimbo from when she lived in Mevagissey
[3] there may have been more, but I wasn't in proof-reading mode as the
book was too good to read slowly :)
[4] a lucky sentence with all these 3's.

He recently had a medical which he aced getting 30 out of 30 better than
any President ever, just like Brian. Is it only his family who are
raising concerns about a meglomaniac who goes around capturing foreign
heads of state and bombing foreign countries to end up paying $300bn in reparation to end up with things worse than when they started?

I suspect Trump is beyond parody given the lead times for the Archers.

Waves frantically pointing to an earlier thread (in re Doctor Who).

I don't know. We've had topical inserts before, maybe these are
topical rewrites?
