it makes it so much easier to sit down and watch stuff with the kids that you can enjoy as well. It's always very present in my mind that the time i get to do that is very short and getting shorter. It's a bit of a skill to amuse a wide audience especially delineated by age. Our problem these days is a growing list of "you better not watch that without me" and then not getting that time when all four of us can make it (usually i have to sacrifice sitting down and run it while i'm cooking dinner or something)

OMG yes. I've lost count of the number of "you better not watch that without me" shows I've never actually got around to watching.

I enjoyed it mightily. Regarding diversity in period London, I've heard good things about this book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61228147-black-victorians

I'd watch Cavill in anything and the first one was great. Genuinely sad there was never and UNCLE sequel.
