Another title to add to my list of recommendations.

First off, I love Tom Sharpe's writing. It is quite absurd in some ways, but I prefer to think of it as an exaggeration of the truth. Either way I think his stuff is really funny. I read Blott on the Landscape a few years ago and totally loved it. So, yes I love his writing and think Malcolm Bradbury adapted it really well for TV.

Second is John Session looking so very young and being cute and boffin-y and sexually frustrated. It caused me to omit high pitched squeals of delight.

Third, Ian Richardson. Ian Richardson is the don; seriously, he's just one of those actors I could never tire of watching. He's the new Master of Porterhouse struggling to drag the college into the modern age. He's so brilliant, I love him!

Also he's starring alongside David Jason. They were Death and Albert in the adaptation of Terry Pratchett's The Hogfather. Everytime I read Discworld novels the voice of Death is always Ian Richardson in my head now.

Which reminds me, in The Hogfather Albert says something (which I can't remember, sorry) and Death replies:

"You might think I'd thought of that, but I couldn't possibly comment."

Squee!

Sorry for my incoherence, I'm rather tired :)
