I remember in English Literature lessons at school having the symbolism in Tess of the D'Urbevilles hammered into us.

Tess was like a lamb to the slaughter and red was always a symbol of her impending doom.
A red ribbon in her hair, her being given ripe strawberries by the villain etc.

Red red, red, red - all the damn time.
Just let me read the book, already!!!

Anyway, that red stuff symbolism came right back into my head when the old dude was chopping beets.
That chattering chimp in my mind said, "red symbolism, red symbolism! If it wasnt symbolism he'd have been cutting carrots or celery."

bleeping chimp.

Red always indicted danger in Breaking Bad too.

I've been sorting out stuff. I've been copying every CD I own onto a hard drive so I can de clutter.
That meant I can move some DVDs to an easier to find position.
While I've been doing all this I found stuff I haven't seen for ages.
One is the box set of The Wire and all of The Bridge.

Might watch those two again.
Or I might just watch all of Happy Valley again in time for Sunday.

I’m just watching Silent Witness. You’ll never guess who’s turned up in the ep..?

Clue: He’s getting married on Wednesday!! 🤣🤣

That would be quite a twist - albeit a really bad one. Maybe TLR didn't grape Becky at all and Catherine's actually the one somewhat responsible for her daughter taking her own life (them having a huge row or something) and has been riddled with guilt ever since, hence the panic attacks and hallucinations. And she blames TLR because it's easier than dealing with her own guilt or something idk

Like I said, a really bad twist and surely Sally Wainwright wouldn't do this to us 🤞😂

I think this might be right- in the first series Catherine said her daughter was grape, TLR has consistently said he loved her to Ryan. The son sorry can’t remember his name, when he kicked off at Catherine (again in the first series) said something like Becky deserved it?? It sounded like he tried his best to be a ‘good’ child & Becky did what she wanted but was ? The favourite? 🤔

Been watching Early Doors - comedy set in a Manchester pub written by Craig Cash in the early 00's. Easy viewing.

I’m watching Silent Witness at the moment, but will probably go back to watching Clocking Off afterwards. I finished watching Last Tango in Halifax last night.

Whitechapel is a good (*whispers* ITV🫣) police procedural series. Some genuinely freaky episodes on a Luther level that I will never forget! A cool historical element and Rupert Penry-Jones to boot 😍

It was impressive how ever you did it! I had a dog wanting to go out to the garden and I had to just make him wait and watch the tv over his head!

Litvinenko was brilliant, definitely worth a watch. Been binging on episodes of Accused: Guilty or Innocent on ITVX. If you like true crime they are v good.
