@MsDropbear42 ...aaaaaand so now i have abandoned #W1A, in S3 E1. In the last ep of S2 they began focusing their heavy-handed OTT mockery on inclusivity, so ofc they decided to use trans peeps for target practice [specifically transvestites vs transsexuals, grrrrrrrrrr]. In that prior ep they were still sufficiently vague as to be able to claim plausible deniability, so i persisted, albeit with dark foreboding. However in S3 E1 they dropped any pretence of subtlety & just went for it, via a big boofy supposed crossdresser, with that as The Joke.

Ugh. 🤢🤮

Any show, author, organisation et al that chooses to use trans peeps as a comedic &/or criminal device, makes an enemy of me evermore.

Fuck off, shit-head creators of W1A !!! 😡🖕

Finished rewatching The Thick Of It last night, now watching W1A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W1A_(TV_series). It's pretty excruciating, in a good way.

The Narrator role [David Tennant], & style, really strongly reminds me of People Like Us, which i really loved back in the day... until ofc the news broke about Chris Langham. Later when i researched it & learned that both mockumentaries were penned by John Morton, it made complete sense.

The theme music is really intriguing me. It gives me very strong flashbacks to I Dream Of Jeannie, which is a bit weird.

Events this week remind me of #W1A and #IanFletcher's comment "I can't do anything about what the Prime Minister is paid".

It is the middle of summer, and you find yourself in Glasgow caught in a downpour and start questioning your life choices. You remember this delivery to try and cheer yourself up and things only get worse when you realise you'll never be this funny
