Yes, a strange combo of a staged performance filmed and a performance filmed for tv.

I think we will be masking up regularly in the winter, as they do in say Japan where they mask up if they think they have a cold because they come into close proximity of eachother in for example the commuter trains.

Agreed, Carmichael being set up as a baddie so probably isn’t. I bet she ends up the big boss! I enjoyed the examination of Davidson, it was very well written. What gets me is the speed at which the police get all the evidence sorted out and the ‘script ‘ of the examination rehearsed. Not real time, surely? Quite liked the grey sweatshirts as well.

Did we watch The Winter’s tale then? Spoilers: why didn't Leontes and Paulina look older after 16 years? Why did Autolycus shout? Apart from that not bad. I won’t dwell further.

A very long time ago, in The Express newspaper ( don't look at me, it was my parents’ choice ) there was a brilliant cartoon, The Gambols. Mrs G was like Mrs Everywoman, stylish but slightly dafter. They were going on a cruise and she was wondering whether or not to take sea sickness tablets. In the end she did. On the boat, you see them looking over the rail at a turbulent ocean, very happy and jolly though the boat is blowing about as if in a storm. She says, ‘ well, I feel fine, I needn’t have taken those sea sickness tablets after all’.

A generous couple have paid for the outdoor theatre, or made substantial contribution, not sure which. Very visible, tangible sort of thing.br] They’re building an entirely new outdoor theatre and only doing one production in it (Comedy of Errors). That is quite a squandering of resources. I think the kind of flat pack they can bring out every summer and possibly transport to other locations for a season. Maybe. 😳

A generous couple have paid for the outdoor theatre, or made substantial contribution, not sure which. Very visible, tangible sort of thing. I’m not a buildings person tbh; I’m a person person. By that I mean invest in individuals and groups which do stuff, make stuff, show stuff. Other than to provide work for scaffolders I’m not sure why a theatre is necessary in the garden beside the two theatres and a few feet from the third they already have. You still need the toilets, the bar, the shepherding staff, so I’m wondering why not open the big theatre for fewer people? My instinct would be to rip out the seats and go full round in the big theatre ( or nearly round) and open out the foyers etc as much as possible. But Jan you can’t compare Jermyn St ( well, you can and I do) because JS doesn’t have the hundreds of staff to deal with so it is a more flexible, light on the feet set up. RSC is like a huge tanker, stuck in the Suez Canal...to be continued

I’m appreciating the links to real cases because it makes you realise how hard it was for the people at the time to see what was happening at the time. Hindsight is of course a wonderful thing but as the corruption came out and the fumblings of the police there was a sense of shock, though we know some people did ‘know’ what was going on.

Interesting, you’re the first person I’ve heard of having side effects from Pfizer. Did you have any from the first jab? I was also destroyed by the second Pfizer jab. After the first one I just felt achy the following day with a very sore arm which I usually don't get, and made it to about 4:00pm before working from bed. After the second one (which I had on a Thursday morning) I felt completely fine until mid afternoon the next day and then was basically wiped out for the weekend. I actually think it affected me for about a week overall but at a low level. Obviously I'm not complaining and I would never not have got it even if the side effects were 100x worse. But I would recommend getting the second Pfizer jab closer to a weekend/days off work etc. Most people I know had a sore arm to varying degrees and most have had some tiredness after the second. But my colleagues and I are at the younger end of the spectrum of those who have been vaccinated as we all work in a hospital and apparently younger people are more likely to get side effects. I was pfizered - tired after first jab, nothing else, but aching arm after second jab, much more than any previous jabs and also v tired for a couple of days.

Was so weird. Huw Edwards saying that ~Meghan, Duchess etc wasn’t there because not cleared to come. She is pregnant ffs and late on so can’t or shouldn’t fly. Also he was talking about her as if she couldn’t hear him while saying that she is probably watching. Could he not for once have said something along the lines that we are sure she would have wanted to be here and we are sorry she can’t be but appreciate the reason and look forward to a happier event...imo he should have shut up for most of the time and allowed us to experience the silence and the atmosphere. He wittered on and on. I turned off the sound for a while but thank goodness he shut up for inside the church. The filming, the camera angles etc were pretty good, the filming of the piper was worthy of an Oscar, but they cant get the commentary right at these events, can they?

The surveillance was stopped as soon as that wonderful bag Anna Maxwell Martin appeared - what a performance, next stop pantomime villain Palladium, appeared..she had it ordered from the big boss who is obviously crooked as hell.

Sad it has taken a pandemic to close the Lyttleton, a theatre you cannot hear in from half way back and which has a stage so wide it literally suits nothing except Russian plays set in apartments with lots of iron windows.

Does much need to change in the text for the gay couple? I can’t remember precisely but overall I don't think so.

I don't hate the BBC, I admired Prince Philip and I think his story should be known BUT the coverage was ridiculous. One channel dedicated to the event please and leave the rest alone with possibly banners on programmes and anything obviously ‘off’ removed. I hope they review the inevitable coverage of the Queen’s death - long may she live and reign - in the light of the complaints. Doubtful the BBC will be around by then.....

You’ve gotta admire the sheer genius of this - short play, different casts and quality to tempt the ‘collectors; if someone falls sick they pop in one of the other duos, great script and central location. Really not a q of ‘are you going?’ But ‘ how many are you going to?’

It is a great little piece and this casting looks fab.

Putting my prediction out there Kate is H if for no other reason that an emotionally wrenching face off with Steve and his ‘mate’ Kate would be satisfying? Kate is the only one who has been undercover throughout in just about every station going, yet has worked with a few of these people who either know she is AC12 or fail to recognise her? S4 mentions Buckles has worked with Kate before in a past undercover investigation, worked with her in S4 and now again in S6, Farida knows Kate from S4 and S6 and so far Ryan doesn’t seem in the least bit worried Kate has interviewed him previously as a child. We’re also never told why Kate and her partner have split and custody is with her partner? Is she trying to distance herself for their protection?. Side theory: Jo is deep deep undercover, possibly AC12 or investigating Kate. Nah.....like the thing about her marriage and the relationship with Steve, wow that would be tv fireworks. But the betrayal for all us viewers might bring down the government..on the other hand..
