@george_ogier in theory anyone’s ancestry can be linked to Edward III, we’re all royalty mate! (Sorry for my grim visage today: how r u?)

The actual anniversary of Magna Carta isn’t until June but Melvyn Bragg has already flumped his bouffant middlebrow flummery all over it.

@garethesque me too. The dead escapee Borrower on the main floor of the room was a dark but neat touch

@garethesque fave room?

Finally went to see 26 Characters at @TheStoryMuseum in Oxford this weekend. Fantastic and enchanting.

@_mattbrock @rickbox @vigornian oh dear. Looks like We’re All Different! (I found MM tedious – nothing ever seemed to happen.)

@vigornian …I’m the man who didn’t take to The Wire. (Or Mad Men.) Victorian setting inevitably appeals.

@vigornian do you mean s1? Don’t remember it much. This series has had some great plots, the characters are strong, cast excellent. But…

Finally watched the end of s3 of #RipperStreet. Some disturbing violence at times, but the best TV series I’ve seen in years. Superlative.

@TheStoryMuseum … never mind, we’ll come another time soon! Thanks
