Continuing on from yesterday's super YouTube video "Christmas Wrapping: Xmas at the BBC, 1976-1984", it's another one of the same for your edification and amusement. It can only be "Christmas Wrapping: Xmas at the BBC, 1985-1989", which is handy for us, as we've not got time for a proper update today. Will try harder tomorrow.

Part III will probably be around at some point next week. Actually I haven't even started it because I have to commute to Bude to learn about CVs like a simpleton. But I will start it just as soon as the episode of The Wire I'm watching finishes. In fifteen minutes.
Stirling (or probably sterling, I can't remember) work so far anyway, Applemask. And I am definitely going to try and get into The Wire over the Christmas period, if only to try and stop everyone else telling me to start watching it. If you keep building it up like that, I'm only going to be slightly disappointed, you know. It happened with The Sopranos, and it'll happen again, mark my text.
Assuming you have a decent attention span, you will not.
