A GOOD NIGHT OF THE TELLY...

First up was the second part of a program about Kim Philby the British double agent who sent hundreds of British agents to their certain death while ostensibly working for MI6 but was actually passing everything of use on to the Russians.

When MI6 could no longer deny the overwhelming bleedin obvious - that Philby had been a Russian spy for the last thirty years or more, they didn't bring him back to London so they could try him for high treason, multiple murders...etc...etc...and hang, draw and quarter him. 

Instead they sent his best friend (they'd been to public school and Cambridge together) to tell him how very let down everyone in the office felt and he'd be lucky to get a Christmas card that year...

Then I watched the Good Wife, which was fast paced and clever with as many twists as a hang man's rope...

Then switched over to the end of Question Time but the picture was too broken and pixilated... the BBC having moved all their programs to new satellites further north to make sure that the seven crofters left in the Shetlands get a perfect picture - while the two millions expat Brits living in Europe (for mostly the wrong reasons), have now to find a supplier of cheap box sets...

Some of these expats are even up sticks (literally) and going back to Bwighty cos they just can't live without Corrie or Eastenders (come to think of it, it might all be a subtle device to raise the expat tone!)
