Years and Years — Series 1— Episode 1.2 — A Review

10th July, 2019.


Did I mention I’d been to hospital, this week?

I’ve been to hospital, this week: on Monday, if you must know.

Believe it or not?

Getting hold of what’s called a CPAP machine: designed to help me breath whilst sleeping.

I’ve another appointment, tomorrow.

For a CT scan on my lungs.

Am I worried?



Fuck, yes.

I’m hoping that — as my GP has assured me — that it’s nothing serious.

I hope so.

Anything involving my lungs is worrying.

Given my paternal grandfather died of lung cancer?

Well, you can appreciate me worrying.

~≈§≈~

At any rate, is — beyond worrying — there anything I can do about this, right now?

Frankly?

No.

All I can do tonight, is relax: and enjoy myself.

Yes.

I’ve caned the iPlayer, again … 

And watched episode 2 of Year and Years … 

~≈§≈~

Episode 1.2 opens in 2025, a year after the Hong Shao Dao bombing.

Edith (Jessica Hynes) has returned to the UK: after the explosion, her health is looking iffy.

Daniel (Russell Tovey)… ? Is divorcing Ralph, and living with Victor (Maxim Baldry.)



Viv Rook … ?   Has just won a by-election: introducing a new bit of kit I the process.

And Stephen (Rory Kinnear) and Celeste (T'Nia Miller)?



Are having troubles of their own: as, with Celeste’s employers have collapsed, they have to downsize … 



The problem, there … ?

Is the run on the bank that’s left them literally penniless … 


~≈§≈~



Now, I’m going to apologise if this post is a little short … 



But I’m … worrying … about the morning: and going to try and get some sleep.



Before I do?

I’ll stress that this second episode of Years and Years is another great episode.

One that contributes to the on-going story …

And has me convinced Russell T. Davies is a TV writing genius …

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. 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 adult. 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.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
