I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Here's a link to the blog of the guy who wrote the Guardian piece. He's got a lot more Ashes stuff and expanded interviews with Matthew Graham:

Just today I remembered one of my favourite bits from the last episode. How do you know somebody is the devil? Because they make you listen to Club Tropicana on a loop during a four-hour car journey. Hah!

Is anyone else watching the Eurovision semis? Lithuania were genius.

I would like to hear about about these genius Lithuanians.

It's a group of five guys and at the end of their number they rip off their trousers and are wearing sparkly tight shorts underneath. If that's not a touch of Eurovision genius I don't know what is.

I'll try to find it on youtube...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is there going to be a second series of Luther? That was amazing.

I haven't heard yet whether there will be or not. The press has mostly been 'Oh my God that was so melodramatically terrible in a really good way' about it, so I think there probably will be.

Idris definitely chewed all the scenery in arm's reach, but I think it was quite taut and exciting.

The Guardian has been blogging a bit here and there on it - [link]

I wanted to play a cop drama cliche drinking game while watching, but I think that way cirrhosis lies.

Just catching up on Natter - your cousin is Diane Abbott? I'm very glad she's running.
