I have seen a DVD of a roaring fire.

Now that people have their large flat screen TVs where the fireplace
used to be I guess that sort of makes sense as a room focal point.

At the beginning of the 1980s we had a TV in our fireplace until people laughed
at us.


I suspect you put the fire out first.

No doubt. There were better flaming programmes then.

No doubt. There were better flaming programmes then.

The previous owner added an extension to the house which blocked the ventilation
brick that the fire needed. He also tarted up the fireplace. Lighting a fire in
the fire place filled the room with smoke unless you opened the living room,
front and bac,k doors. Never buy a house from, according to the Economist, "a
potential Nobel Prize winner".




Dangerous! I'm surprised he got planning permission.

Time to bring back the potter at work at his wheel, especially as b/w is so
fashionable in Scandinavian crime series.

Too much action. You can see it taking shape far too quickly!

Carole Hersee, the little girl, is now 55 years old. I wonder if she
still has fan mail.

Yeah, what we want is six unskilled beginner potters competing to
throw the best pot.. as voted by viewers of course.

The failed potters get buried under a pile of wet mud by, or possibly
with, Charlie Dimmock in a spin-off gardening prog.

The last surviving pot wins a feature spot in either, the Bake Off, or
a Scandinavian crime series.

Don't forget the pervasive background musak which should obscure ay
actual information, or at least, the end-of-sentence-rising-intonation?
in any voice-over by Ant and Dec, Stephen Fry, or other meeja hasbeen.

The house isn't in UK. Nothing here surprises us anymore.
We can't wait for BBC's Escape to the (in)Continent to visit Holland.




:~)) You should speak to the BBC. They probably aren't aware.
