    Sunday 19th - There is a clash of the titans at the Bull,

    George really doesn't get it, does he? He thinks he can just wander
    back into his old life and pick up where he left off and everything
    will carry on just as it was before. And when he meets people who
    don't see it that way he protests "I've done my time!"

    Well, no George, you haven't done your time. If we are going to be
    pedantic about it, you are still doing your time in release on parole.
    You'll still be doing "your time" for some time yet.

    And anyway, George, remember that the time (which you are still doing)
    was for dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice. You
    can never do enough time for lying to your friends, lying about your
    friends, breaking all the bonds of trust that had been built up over a
    lifetime of living in Ambridge.

    If you want a word of advice, George, and even if you don't, I think
    you should GTF out of Ambridge and take your
    Instagirlfriend/fiancoe/wife with you and start again somewhere else.
    Make new friends. Treat them honestly and decently and deserve their friendship. Do it. Do it now.

    And don't come back.

    It's actually "on licence". Parole is something different, though I'm

    can never do enough time for lying to your friends, lying about your

    Yes, some people will never forgive you, even after the sentence period (including the - usually half [more in recent temporary moves to ease
    prison loading] - on licence) has long passed. (You will also retain a
    criminal record - which for some things _is_ expunged after a period,
    other things never.)>>

    Though if someone in Ambridge really hates you _and_ is that vindictive,
    they can poison your new neighbours too. I don't _think_ anyone in
    Ambridge would go to that extent.>>

    I think you are right - he just isn't very bright. Compared, for

    turned a corner.

    I understand now that far from being a pilot on the Fringe that was cut,
    [1] that it is actually a re-release of an old B&W series, re-tinted to
    appear in colour. I've seen some of the highlights, and I think they are
    on permanent repeat on iPlayer.
    They had to snip some of the "language of its time" and trim it down to
    30 minutes. The humour is dryer than we're used to and they're promising

    According to the Manchester Evening News, Charlotte Jordan has
    started work on a new BBC TV cosy crime drama, The Hairdresser
    Mysteries, which stars Sally Phillips.

    According to BBC Mediacentre, that's an "original, homegrown drama >>>>>> created by internationally acclaimed playwright and screen writer, >>>>>> Jim Cartwright."

    Wot? Are you suggesting that darling Sally Phillips is going to turn
    out to be Sweenia Todd? Over my dead body! Erme.. perhaps that's not
    the best turn of phrase under the circumstances

    It's enough to make your hair curl.


    I understand now that far from being a pilot on the Fringe that was cut,
    [1] that it is actually a re-release of an old B&W series, re-tinted to
    appear in colour. I've seen some of the highlights, and I think they are
    on permanent repeat on iPlayer.
    They had to snip some of the "language of its time" and trim it down to
    30 minutes. The humour is dryer than we're used to and they're promising
    extra bangs for the US market.

    [1] recycling is good


    Mike? ...Is that you, Mike?

    I am deeply hurt. I had even removed the repeating storyline about the incontinent dog that required sham poo on set.
