5th November, 2019.
Yes: it’s officially official …
My knackered boiler is still knackered …
It’s a long story. But I’ve had at least three engineers out: to tell me the thing needs repairing or replacing …
At least one of whom told me to contact my landlord: last Friday, a the report should have gone through by then.
As it turns out?
The phones were down for maintenance … and due back up, today …
But were down again: due to unforeseen circumstances …
I’m going to be busy in the morning …
Ho … bloody … hum … !
At any rate? It’s a quiet Tuesday night.
Which means more TV, as far as I’m concerned.
Frankly?

Episode 3 — Burden of Proof — see’s Craven’s (Bob Peck’s) Yorkshire colleagues closing in on the man they believe killed Craven’s daughter.
Ron knows otherwise.
And also knows — with help from Terry Shields (Tim McInnerny) — that Emma (Joanne Whalley) was after something called a hot cell.
What Craven doesn’t know, until he’s told … ?
Is that there’s an investigation being done by the House of Commons: into the sale of Northmoor, the wast plant his daughter raided.
And what he doesn’t know, yet?
Is that Terry Shields has been suicided …
~≈†≈~
Now … ?
Good … ? Still good … ?
Yes.
I’m three episodes in, and this show is riveting.
And belongs to Joe Don Baker!
I have a belief that Star Wars has been a big influence on TV science fiction: there always has to be gobby, Han Solo type character going the rounds.
And Darius ‘I Have A Golf Obsession’ Jedburgh? Is the Edge of Darkness equivalent.
This episode … ? Move the story on …
And gives the CIA’s best know member — out side of Felix Leiter — one hell of a chance to shine!
As a question, here?
Would you be taking money on me watching another episode?
In the (assumed) words of Darius Jedburgh?
Yesirree!

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.
* 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.
