You really should watch this, if you can, and ask for it if you can't. I've watched the whole series and it's gold. The good bits are great and there are some (quite a lot of) moments of absolute genius.

I'd love to. I've loved everything else written (or co-written) by Graham

I sort of missed this the first time around but I honestly laughed my arsed off. The Soupover episode was so good but the best so far (at the moment!) is The Day the Clocks Went Back……genius 🤣

There is a surprising amount of soup-related content.

From sublime TV to the ridiculous (but also encouraging): Nickelodeon's obsession with grooming has caused it to lose a million weekly viewers over the last 4 years: https://www.dailywire.com/news/nickelodeon-ratings-crash-amid-lgbtq-push?fbclid=IwAR3OqaPNhxzmyXHMytvdhw1tSzuN8Wj6X5Tu_ZPTt1MYbVRS2prUef0Y-ak

I still don't know how to contact you outside of commenting like this, Graham -- is there another way to send through news items etc.? Cheers!

Yes, it would be great if there were a dropbox where we could submit stories. Like mine when I get fired from my job - as I probably will be when we go back to the office in a few months! My organization just got our "Trans-inclusive Language Guide" and it is grim....

I adore adore adore Count Arthur Strong, the funniest bundle of laughs this century. The walk to the plane in the flying episode lesson was one of the most brilliant pieces of visual comedy I've ever seen. Loved everything about it and simply didn't get why others in my circle didn't 'get' it. Could it be that I have eminently better taste than they? Yes, that must be it! ;-) Incidentally, is it heresy to admit that I liked CAS just as much as I liked Father Ted?

Terrific, I've just seen it on Amazon Germany (I live in Bulgaria so it's easier than ordering from the UK). Thanks for the advice.
