... can be a fun thing, when you're Home-Alone for the evening and STILL don't feel like sorting through the box of dvds (one of the Lock-Down jobs that has never made it to the top of the list)

A day or two ago I binge-watched the whole five episodes of 'In My Skin' - with horror and fascination, and a few tears.

Set in a deprived secondary school in Cardiff, I described it afterwards to A. as 'Gregory's Girl''s dark twin.

Interestingly it was billed, I read later, as 'a comedy drama'...whatever makes you chuckle, I guess.

SUPERB though it was, and I highly recommend it, there was nothing remotely funny about it as far as I could see.

Though I freely admit to having no sense of humour.
