Taboo

apparently, there is a bridge over the river Cam, backs onto one of the colleges, rumour has it that it is one of the only places where one can still have a duel?
 
I'm disappointed.The vile husband did not die unpleasantly enough - being stabbed with a hat pin the size of a knitting needle is simply too clean and tidy :(

I'm really not enjoying Oona Chaplin in this. Jessie Buckley as Lorna otoh - awesome.

Two serving Prime minsters have been in duels, one a few years before this was set, and the other a few years after.

John Major was a dab hand with the epee. He killed one man and injured another for insulting Edwina Curry, but it was all covered up.
 
I'm getting a bit frustrated with it wandering about all over the place now. Like the whole gunpowder-for-the-yanks subplot appears to be sod-all to do with the story. I'll probably see it through to the end at this point, but if they don't even wrap up a proper plot in this series I'll not be hanging on for the next one.
 
I liked Chaplin in that ep of Inside No 9

According to the RT piece; she is the grand daughter of Charlie...

We're absolutely loving this series :cool: No subtitles required. I now have a bit of a crush on Tom Hardy - what an incredible face and body that man has, and a wonderful way of moving it. Rarr. Anyhoo, to balance that oddness, I also have a crush on the sister and the actress. Double rarr.

Almost every scene is beautifully atmospheric, and I'm getting off on the hints and twists of the story. Brilliant.
 
Winter :(

Caught up with the last two episodes last night.

I dunno, I'll see it through but ... it's not lived up the magic I was expecting tbh

Not seen it, but I think it refers to hats that had razor sharp peaks for slashing rivals. O have a vague recollection of this from A level Sociology

Folk Devils and Moral Panics text features on most Media/Criminology sections of A Level Sociology - although Cohen says the razor blade sewing is overstated (as with Skinheads sewing blades into the collars of their Crombies). There was also an element of broad brims hiding the faces. Moral Panics - the more they change the more they stay the same.
 
Still loving it here too, the best thing on telly at the mo... Soundtrack is Max Richter I think, that's why it's so unintrusive and just bolsters the overall feel of the scenes.
