Enjoyed watching this this morning. There's nothing new...

Besides anything else, it made me realise that my memories back then of Wilson and Healey (and Heath) came from Mike Yarwood impressions on a Saturday evening, not the news! You mean there was more to them than a pipe and eyebrows?

Still waiting here. I hate it when deliveries are late.

For an episode with several things that made me scratch my head at the justifications, was openly emotionally manipulative at times, and a bit anti-climactic, I oddly enjoyed this one!

Enjoyed these WTH videos, thanks for doing them. Nice to see Ellie being wrong and Tom spot on again 😀

Seriously, the different interpretations of the episodes are fascinating. A mixed bag all around. Sums up season 3 nicely!

This is a great point, exemplified for me by the imagery the BBC use to publicise Kuenssberg's work. She's in vibrant colour in the foreground, whereas the subjects – which ought to be important – lurk behind in monochrome.

They've lost their way.

Sounds like you had a similar experience to me. One of those shows I instinctively wanted to like, but so much didn’t land for me.

As others have clearly enjoyed it, I’m happy to accept it just wasn’t to my taste. I’ll just shrug and move on, and be happy it seems to have found its audience.

Annoyingly, I find myself largely agreeing with you again 😀

Nothing original, but executed well, so that you could overlook the clunky bits.

Only bit didn't work for me was the linkage to TOS at the end – would have worked fine in its own right. Minor quibble however.

Yeah. I unfollowed him because of the way he regularly sent random abuse for little reason (not to me). At best, tiresome, and undermines his often good points.
