I have just watched the 1967 film Koroshi, with Patrick McGoohan as the Danger Man character John Drake.
I noticed in the end credits that the part of the king in the Kabuki theatre scene was played by Richard Wilson, in one of his very early roles.
I could hardly believe it - well, he was wearing a mask.

I have been rather 'roped in' to the watching of Gotham.
Too much of my life has been invested in it already, and i'm only about a half of the way in to Series One.
20-odd 40 min episodes per series + 3 series to 'catch up' to what's happening in the fourth?
What are we doing to ourselves?
Bread and Circuses kind of shit going on here.

Am now slightly under a half of the way in to Series Three.
Which rather suggests i have watched, since last reporting in, 40-something episodes of a 40 minute show.
Which inexorably demonstrates that in the interim i have dedicated more than an entire day to Gotham.
Which i still can't look at without thinking * no, i do not have any ham *
Am entirely in love with Penguin.

It is regrettable that the thrust of his thesis was confined to what must have (or 'of' in the vernacular) taken up less than ten minutes of (or 'have' in the... 'can you not see how wrong that sounds? well that's exactly how wrong 'of' sounds to me' kind of way ) this piece.
It reminded me of Howard Goodall's essay on The Beatles, as regard the soundscape of those jours.
But Goodall was given a lot more time and space to expand and explain his reasoning.
I'm certain that this was by no means Mr. M's fault. If the Beeb doesn't know what it's got in the asset that is Monsieur Meades, then it should look at itself a lot more closely.

^only some of those work, but one would recommend them highly.
It's interesting that Duchamp's urinal is probably contemporary with people lobbing tennis balls at a piano and calling it 'music', and yet we are more familiar with one rather than the other. One is more 'outrageous' than the other.
Language, in whatever of its interpretations, is the most interesting facet of human experience.
