I do not know "Durrells in Corfu" and keep thinking it is a reference to that Star Trek ep where the aliens speak in metaphor or something gibberish and is forever being quoted.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

I never watched Star Trek (any of the variations), and yet people quote that episode so much that I know it, and I know vaguely what the quote is supposed to convey. (Just like I know way too much about Doctor Who for someone who has only watched 2 episodes out of the entire 2 billion episodes and 500 Doctors. If people post about something enough on FB, I will pick it up by osmosis.)
Although I have no idea what Durrells in Corfu is.

Exactly Steph. I never watched Star Trek and can never remember what the phrases from that ep were meant to convey, but I've seen them so much it has just seeped into my brain.
There is a lot of fandom stuff like that for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! I wish it were that.
I'm glad you all are confirming that no one gets this joke -- Durrells in Corfu is a PBS show about a British family who move to Corfu in the 1930s and have gentle adventures. Two of the actual Durrells are authors (Lawrence and Gerald), including the one whose memoir is the basis for the show.

Initially I was mixing them up with that father-daughter country duo the Kendalls.

I am imagining Holt saying "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" and that would be very satisfying

This is what I mean when I tell people that I am nerd and geek tangential.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My mom loves Durrells in Corfu, and until now that was my one and only reference point for it.
