I've long suspected Cully of being the Moriarty figure pulling the strings behind the whole operation.

One has to question the new man she has dragged into the proceedingss as her proposed husband. Completely unnecessary and surplus to requirements. It's also never been clear why she has such an odd name.

Having just enjoyed a fresh hit from Inspector Lynley, I am devestated to learn that next Sunday's episode "'know thine enemy' will be the last of him - or perhaps more to the point the last of Havers (Sharon Small). The BBC have cut the series entirely despite excellent ratings for their own bizarre purposes and the ensuing national outcry seems to have made no difference. R.I.P. Lynley and Havers. Murdered 2008. Perhaps we need Barnaby to investigate.

Parts of the Battlefield Britain series of the BBC (Culloden, Boyne and a week ago The Armada)

He does seem a bit gormless, but there's hope he'll turn into a killer yet. Especially if she carries on flirting with every one of Barnaby's assistants and generally being wetter than a haddock's bathing costume.

Missed that one. I'm running behind on the murder front. I've only just seen the pilot for "Lewis", and was quite chuffed to work out the Polonius clue before he did. That never would have happened with Inspector Morse.

I think Lewis must have done a partial brain download from Morse's corpse as he suddenly seems to know a lot more than he used to do, though his retrieval from memory system seems a bit slow. The "Lewis" series are excellent IMO; but nothing will ever match Morse.

Mario Bava, The Whip and the Body (with Cristopher Lee and Dahlia Lavi)

The Weather Channel.

*SIGH*   After days of seemingly unceasing rain, we had violent thunderstorms, flash-flooding and ... tornados ... all around the area tonight.   *SIGH*

Mario Bava, Knifes of the Avenger (do I smell a pattern there? )

The Long Road To Finchley.   

BBC4 faction play about the Blessed Margaret's early fight to be selected as a Tory candidate.  Surprisingly well balanced. Don't know what's coming over the BBC. Even they were mocking the way the EU is already planning to ignore the Irish referendum tonight.

Just done with the half season finale of Galactica.

They were probably bribed. There's a lot of it about

Naughty. GB assures us those Ulster Unionists weren't bribed, and we know he never lies [cough-referendum-cough].

Just watch a documentary on Richard Burton (the explorer/anthropologist not actor).  The program was  obsessed with sex, but then so was he apparently. I suppose in the Raj the only alternative was cricket and you can't play that at night.

Also famous for that quote on religion, which I'd better not repeat.

A documentary on Art Nouveau jewelry reconstruction (i.e. finding out how they did it without the modern tools).

First episode of House Season 4.

Living with a doctor improves the whole thing immensely.
