Class: Series 1 — Episode 8 - The Lost

*Spoilers*

7th December, 2016

I have to confess, my new job … ?   Is great.

Really.

It pays me just about money to survive on.

And possibly even thrive: in a very small way.

At least it lets me pay for Christmas presents.   And should — HA! — let me pay for a new washing machine or computer: should I manage to save up enough cash to put towards them!

So I am — in theory, any way — a happy bunny.

One thing I do miss about being out of work, though … ?

Is the fact I’d’ve had a touch more time to at least catch up with favourite TV shows.

Not that I necessarily had the money to buy that much in the way of box sets, but it’s amazing what you can do on a tight budget.

One thing I have had time to catch, over the past few weeks … ?

Is the BBC 3 series, Class.

And, yes: I know the gag that it lives up to its name — it’s classy, in other words — is getting old, by now.

But?

It’s true.

This is a series that, to date, has shown me it’s well written, acted and engaging.

And the eighth episode, The Lost?

Is both a finale that matches what’s gone before in quality … 

AND exceeds it.

Class: Series 1 — Episode 7 - The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did.

30th November, 2016.

OK, it’s Saint Andrews Day.

For many of us?

It’s going to be a day for celebrating our inner Scottishness.

Speaking as a non-Scot?

I’m not.

I’ve a day off, though.

For me?   That’s meant ironing: an office job that demands shirts, means one has to have something that looks flat.

Oh, and making videos.

I couldn’t tell you what’s chewed up more time, over the years.

Ironing, work, writing this blog … 

Sometimes, it feels like I’ve got a couple of jobs … !

At ANY rate?   The other thing that chews up time, is TV.

And, frankly?

Just recently, my attention’s been caught by one series: the BBC3 based, online only — for now — Dr Who spin-off.


And yes, the name’s still accurate.

Class: Series 1 — Episode 6 - Detained.

Hmmm … 

OK … 

As you might realise — if you’d read this morning’s Daily Teaser — I’ve had problems using my version of Safari with my blog: as a result of changes made by Google.

I’ll happily admit, having to switch to using Google Chrome … is getting slightly easier … 

But still not something I’m pleased about.

~≈Ê≈~

At any rate … ?

At any rate, I’ve had today off.

It’s a Wednesday, what can I tell you … ?

Which means, of course, that I’ve had to catch up with some TV.

And, if you’ve been reading me for a while?

You’d probably realise I’ve been — and thoroughly enjoying — BBC 3’s Class.

I’ve just caught the sixth episode, Detained.

And have to admit to liking it!

Class: Series 1 — Episode 5 - Brave-ish Heart

16th November, 2016

It’s official … it’s a Wednesday.

One I’ve had off … 

And spent time writing, ironing, with one friend … 

Oh … 

And catching up with a TV show … 

Yes: before you ask … 

I sat myself down with the most recent episode of Class.

OK … 

The fight scene dragged …
