Inside Number 9
Enjoying the new (and last) series.
Thought the “Ring Doorbell” episode was particularly good.

The 8 show
Like a poor man’s Squid Games
Too on the nose, and ending ultimately unsatisfying.
Following the numerical sequence, Blakes 7 was a good show back in the day...
Black Mirror - Loch Henry
Interesting one. More like an Inside Number 9, so a bit out of keeping with other episodes, but as well written, directed and acted as always.
Aye. Gareth Thomas was Blake.
Harvey, his brother, used to go to my old church. He doesn’t now, on the basis that he’s dead.
Harvey had an interesting life, he worked closely with Thatcher in the 80s, got blown up in the Brighton bomb and then, inspired by his Christian faith, reached out to and became friends with Pat Magee, the bomber. They did an event at my old church together on reconciliation. Jeremy Vine compèred (Harvey did a lot of media and was very well connected).
Without wishing to speak ill of the dead, Harvey was a bit of a pompous oaf. But an interesting bloke (and a Gooner, while we’re here)
A lot of them are now dead. Paul Darrow died five years ago as did Jacqueline Pearce
As is the original Travis (not the one who went on to play Ted Hills in Eastenders)
