lovingbothWe started The Watcher: L had decided it was what someone had recommended to her. I was going 'I literally do not care what happens to this family - they've just bought a mansion and there are zero books to be seen anywhere!' (I also thought that if he was in that much financial trouble, he could just sell his eyebrows as draught excluders...)
So that was given up on before the end of the first episode.
It turned out that what L actually wanted was Inside Man. There are reasons to like this - nothing with Stanley Tucci and David Tennant in can be completely unwatchable...

One thing I loved about the best episodes of Peep Show was that the descent into, say, eating a undercooked dog to conceal that you'd killed it was done one more or less reasonable step at a time. Here, it's a series of one 'WTF are they thinking?!?' after another.
I did have to see the local parish church's vicar today, and I was very tempted to ask if he'd look after a memory stick for me...
