important television milestone
the prog: silent witness, just now ending
the story: mash-up of heavenly creatures and strangers on a train, except in threes not twos
the milestone: “30,000 hits in 45 minutes on my blog”
ie this is the first time i heard the word “blog” used in tv crime fiction
pˆnk s lord sükråt cunctør in Do You See /FT • TV • 759 views
“But Monsieur Poirot, how can you be sure that Alfonse was the culprit?”
“Simpul, Madamoiselle Vraimente! Ah googled his name and eet was all over livezhurnal.”
yes, ON major HASTINGS’s SUPER-SECRET JOURNAL!
all the sidekicks wd be on LJ:
“Bah Holmes he thinks he is so CLEVER. I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM.”
side question: are all sidekicks emo?
actually i suppose the hero/leader would be more emo, the burden of being the best etc.
holmes: NOT EMO
father brown: NOT EMO
lord peter wimsey: EMO BEYOND ALL ORDINARY MEASURE
poirot: only emo when the subject of BELGIANHOOD arises
marples: NOT EMO
alleyn (ngaio marsh): EMO
dalgleish (p.d.james): EMO (writes POITRY for GOD’S SAKE) (possibly alleyn does too)
sidekicks
watson: EMO
fr brown’s giant gascon sidekick: NOT EMO
lpw’s sidekick: HIS BUTLER (not emo)
hastings: EMO
hastings: EMO — do poirot and marples have the SAME SIDEKICK or did i get muddled earlier on? LEX TO THREAD
alleyn and dalgleish’s sidekicks = THE WHOLE OF SCOTLAND YARD as they are SENIOR COPPERS (= whole of s.yard = emo obv )
Dalziel: EMO
Pascoe: NOT EMO
or it could be the other way round, for all I know.
What about Pascoe’s Wife – the master criminal that she is?
Morse: THE MOST EMO OF ALL
that would be shoestring — morse is second
Surely Cracker is the most emo!
columbo = grebo
(the clue is in the bo)
and Peter Falk’s hair was a bit ‘fraggley’
steve has a point wrt craXoR. gr8 thing about craXoR is his veering between uber-cynical emo-controlled indie and lowest ebb emo.
All alky investigators are emo though innit?
an historical analysis
sherlock h on the victims and perps: “Who cares, they are puny mortals, the probem is all”
fr brown: “GOD cares and it is my job to show how and why”
lord PW: “i care moan whimper”

morse: “whine mumble bah”
