On what possible grounds
Because people are idiots and complain about everything. There have been 5 complaints to Ofcom so far - 1 for not providing a helpline afterwards.

Loads of people are moaning that it was "false advertising" because of the way they highlighted 14 suspects and Bobby wasn't one of them. They're just pissed as they lost money at the bookies.

Honestly better put together than you'd expect. That Ian oval office is one of the most depressingly bad actors there is though.

And since none of the other cast knew, nothing will come from this 'revelation' for a long, long time. And now I can forget this poo poo exists again.

The place i checked weren't even offering odds for him. So they would have cleaned the gently caress up.

Not much fun
I can't wait until there's a ratings slump for Eastenders and they decide to do a storyline where they reveal Bobby as the killer to the rest of the square. Hopefully it'll be during an hour long episode with weeks of build up.

And holy poo poo, bringing Kathy back. Does anyone actually die in this show?

I liked the first episodes of Cucumber and Banana but theyve both dipped since.

In this episode of Cucumber, Henry overhears sex and is horny. Lance grows closer to co-worker. They both exchange hostile communication that softens briefly, hinting to repair their relationship, but ends due to a communication problem. Freddie has lots of sex but is cold to Henry. Henry is told to grow up. An older man has sex with a much younger one.

I checked Bet365 and Paddy Power last week and Bobby Beale was favourite at both places. His odds were about 3/1. This was monday or tuesday.

I put a bet on Christian at 250/1. It seems ridiculous, but I figured they had to keep it 'in the family' and it needed to be someone Jane would feel compelled to protect so my logic was SOUND.

This JK Rowling thing on BBC One just seems like a massively depressing reflection on society. Which might be worthwhile, but is horrible to watch. Half way through the second episode and I think out of the only two characters to come off ok: One is dead, One is wanking a posh guy off in a library to buy her little brother shoes. Depressing. But then so is life in modern Britain. So maybe it's good.

She stole those shoes from the soft play group in the library. You saw them lined up as she entered.

I'm enjoying it. The aspect ratio still seems unnecessary, but nowhere near as wasted as it is in Cucumber. The book was good, and it's a shame to see they've ommitted a few characters.

I haven't watched all of the episodes to date (and never read the book) but it seems that she is particularly good at capturing teenagers and that time in life, especially when when all the wizardy trappings are removed. Although I guess its a double edged sword after Harry Potter.

Jesus loving Christ, that was a fraught, hauntingly tense execution on Wolf Hall. Nearly swallowed my own tongue when the executioner did his bit of misdirection behind Anne.

Pretty stunning script, acting and direction to create that much suspense from an event more than 500 years old that every schoolchild knows.

It was certainly a brave decision to make his meringue a sort of mouldy grey colour on the inside. I liked Mary Berrys' expression when she cut the pavlova open and it all glooped out.

Re: the comment in the spoiler -- that made me go :neckbeard: because Val gets it. I've liked the character from the start between talking poo poo to Andy, but being very kind to Errol.

The reveal of sis's sexting partner got a squee out of me as well.

Also, I just finished a tutorial with a student who is a real-life Errol (whom I suspect I'd get along with if he were one of my students). Clothing, shy-yet-earnestness about the topic, the whole package.

The chemistry between Val and Errol is so good. Even going back to series 1.

He takes off his shoes and creeps in his socks to the blindfolded Annes' left hand side. He shouts for his sword, which is already in his hand, and she gasps and turns her head towards the noise in a panic, but he's already spun silently on his heel to her right, where her neck is completely exposed and...

Thwack. In one clean strike.

During filming he was doing all this flouncy ninja poo poo and muttering that was absolutely ridiculous to watch. The higher-ups would watch the rushes and snigger. They edited it marvelously to hide all that.

Wolf Hall was good once it got going, but it took long enough to do that. First time I was really gripped was when he was fitting Moore up for the chop which was like, halfway through the series, but after that Anne provided a good antagonist.
I spoiled myself by looking up Cromwell on wikipedia (I was a bad student) to see his later life and let me say this: lol.
e: I liked Henry's clothes getting puffier and puffier to convey weight gain as the actor remained stubbornly unobese
