CMC TV

I’ve just woken from the most extraordinary dream. Or, more accurately described as an initial episode of a comedy drama (possibly a mini series) starring Michael Elphick and Beryl Reid.

It was all based in an unidentified northern German city, setting of a conference, caught in the grip of a freezing winter.
Most enjoyable it was. Dry humour, a few funny gags delivered by an interesting, talented and otherwise unknown cast.
There was a good scene where ME gets back to hotel room and BR confesses rather airily; “I’ve been reading your diary; looks like you owe someone an apology”. ME makes sexual ref then upon hearing the movement of a newspaper looks up to notice the doorman sitting up on the bed, fully clothed and drinking a freshly poured glass of wine.
Nice scene it was. Funny and beautifully lit.
Looking forward to tonight’s episode.
The half bottle of dão that no doubt inspired the script and casting is, over the year, about equivalent to a TV licence fee.


Actually, thinking about last night's eating habits it could have been fuelled but the Canadian mature cheddar that SB sent me. Which should see me to an eight episode mini series, no doubt ending in a cliff hanger which I shall attempt to compensate for with some locally produced cheese until SB arrives or sends more CMC.

Beautiful morning here
