What … ?
Wait, wait, wait, hang on …
What … ?
The BBC’s done what … ?
They’ve cancelled Count Arthur Strong … ?
Good GODS … !
I hate to sound whiney, here, but they’ve cancelled the Count Arthur Strong show!
OK, not wasn’t big, it wasn’t necessarily clever …
But the show was light, funny …
And had a gentleness of touch that is had to find elsewhere.
It is, much like the cancelling of The Fades, a bit of a bombshell.

I know ... or at least, remember ... that feeling. :)
1. Nagasaki
2. a port
3. a B-29
4. Fat Man
5. 35,000 (and that's a conservative estimate)
This is too horrifying for me to contemplate. I need some sleep. Now! :) Ugh. What were we thinking?
