OK …
You don’t have to laugh if you don’t want to.
No, really …
To be brutally honest … ?
I usually don’t, if I’m honest.
Well, not in company.
Not unless I’m planning to look … you know …
Odd!
Where am I now?
Apart from desperately trying to think where I’m going with this?
Yes, I know … !
For starters — as you may know, if you read this morning’s Teaser — you’ll realise I’ve had another interview for a job I potentially don’t want: as it’s only a temp placement for Christmas.
We’ll have to see, won’t we?
At any rate … ?
I’m due for a meeting at my local job centre, tomorrow: the typical once a fortnight visit a benefit claimant has to do to show what one is doing to find a job.
Which, I should add, is a lot easier than it was five years ago.
Either way?
And while I’m there?
I want to check on what help the Job Centre can offer with forums of ID.
And whether I can get the money back I spent on tickets, today.
Cross your fingers, there: I think I might need it!
At any rate … ?
At any rate, with time off, no particular reason to go to bed early? I wanted to catch some TV.
You can possibly guess which series, can’t you … ?
You’re right …

Episode 5 — Cualquier tiempo pasado/Every past time — sees Julián, Amelia and Alonso (Nacho Fresneda, Aura Garrido and Rodolfo Sancho) receiving their latest mission from the Undersecretary, himself.
Someone is trying to rewrite Spanish history, by preventing Picasso’s Guernica* from retuning home in 1981.
In order to do that?
The team have to do one thing.
Find one of three different receipts: and get it back to the present day.
Not easy.
One’s gong astray in 1937, another’s delayed in 1981 …
And they may need to get the third … from Picasso, himself.
That’s not the only problem.
The OTHER problem … is an American called Paul Walcott (Jimmy Shaw).
The team see him in 1937.
And in 1981.
He hasn’t aged a day in the forty odd years in between.
That’s either a very good moisturiser …
Or possibly a time machine …

Now …
Good?
I think we can say El Ministerio del Tiempo has scored another hit, with this episode.
For starters? Cualquier tiempo pasado looks like a thriller! Complete with various safe houses across history, typed messages going across the screen, forgeries, and somewhere NOT faking Picasso’s signature?
The thing expands nicely on Julián’s background, as well: showing us the shock he feels, when he meets his dead wife as a three year old, and his father … at a nightclub with someone who’s NOT Julián’s mother.
Frankly?
This episode is delicious stuff!

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
