It's been cracking good, I must say. I may order the DVDs for a re-watch, whether I'll get around to reading the book is another matter...Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-69568825579473805682009-12-11T14:53:05.361+01:002009-12-11T14:53:05.361+01:00And oh how beautifully, how humanely, how sensibly...And oh how beautifully, how humanely, how sensibly it ended.
