I have to say, well done the Yanks

It is ok, I have just downloaded The Pillars of the Earth, which should keep me going for a few days. There is some good stuff on UK TV but not that much of it.

There seems to be a new TV show every five minutes, which has kept me going for the last year.

That said, this Kung Flu has meant that a lot of my old favourites have boxed up until the bug goes out of fashion. Which is fine except that the backlog of shows is running down and to be honest, a lot of the stars are knocking on a bit. I mean, look at Alan Arkin in the Kominsky Method. He only has to twitch his mouth in weary exasperation and that is half an hour's delighted viewing. The trouble is that these days he is so knackered that he needs a stunt double to do even that.

Friends, I see dark days ahead.
