| “Motherland”, Season 3 – Brilliant and so true to life! Could only have been written by actual mothers… | |
| “Jam Tomorrow Podcast”, Season 1 – absolutely fascinating, great production quality and writing, recommended to anyone interested in modern British History | |
| “Last Bus to Woodstock”, Colin Dexter – starting a Morse re-read. Interestingly dated in attitudes and technology, a simple text message would have wiped out the entire story. | |
| “Welcome to Chippendales”, all new to me, fascinating story, well told; couldn’t help noticing similarity between the main character here and his counterpart in “The Dropout”. | |
| “A Lesson in Dying”, Anne Cleeves – one of the earlier works, you get little to no sense of the main character who seems quite peripheral; but clearly necessary practice before creating Perez and Vera! | |
| “Midshipman’s Hope”, David Feintuch – An obvious homage to both Hornblower and Heinlein. Cheap and trashy but made me stand straighter, chest out, stomach in, I loved this and would read it all over again, a great comfort read. | |
| “Shotgun Wedding”, daft but fun harmless popcorn movie lifted above the ordinary by Jennifer Coolidge and Lennie Kravitz(!) | |
