The one with Jarvis Cocker meditating on snow was pretty good. The programmes about the sites in London in The War of the Worlds, and the drama of WOTHW have been the best.

Is me getting a piece of my home made Bakewell tart, some malt loaf and a cuppa. All I need is a shawl, rocking chair and a cat named Tiddles to complete my descent in to happy madness.
