The Film of the book

The sun is out again, teasing us prior to the Bank Holiday weekend, which according to the weather forecast promises rain. Never mind, the sun is good whatever. Plus my ear, which was blocked all day yesterday due to the highly prolonged and annoying virus I am still enjoying, is now hearing again. Off to Bideford shortly for my second session of volunteering there. I might make a visit to Atlantic Village afterwards, as I haven’t been there ever and apparently they have shoes. On the other hand, i might not. Why do people always seem to say “like the film 1984“? I have heard this phrase about fifty times over the last couple of days, along with a fair sprinkling of “the Big Brother state”. I do not objectt to the phrase, just the fact that 1984 is surely more famously a book? Speaking of BB the popular televisual series is shortly to return to our screens. Post-Shilpa will the ratings be up or down? I suspect up for a brief period before we find out what vacuous and awful people the latest crop are and then it’ll fall off. Until week four when they’ll be some sort of fight or slagging-match and everyone will watch again. |
