Bill Oddie is fast becoming the star of tonight’s episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, which has magically transformed into a thing of wonder under the firm (matron) guidance of Simon Amstell. Ahh. Lovely Simon.

I just realised I totally missed out a word in my first paragraph. I was trying to say something along the lines of “Bill Oddie is the Yoda to David Attenborough’s Obi Wan” but couldn’t think of anything at the time so left a gap. Bad Kat! Even the above Star Wars analogy doesn’t really get to the gist of what I meant – Yoda is more scatty than Obi Wan but nowhere near as scatty as Bill Oddie.

That expression is transitional, I think, most likely between JLHMODE3 and JLHMODE2 (as set out here).

Last week Perky Jen was manfully batting away the suggestion that they might procreate pronto, even though she’s just GREAT with kids. Thing is, she always thought her mum didn’t have “The Gift”* and it therefore skipped a generation. Now it turns out her mum can see the dead, but chooses rudely to ignore them, and therefore any smelly issue of Jen’s will likely be chatting with st1ffs left, right, and centre. This has made our Jenny spooked, ironically enough. Last night I thought she was just crying because she usually cries when people make it to the light and leave behind their loved ones.

I have no doubt that there will soon be tiny Gordons to be menaced by sprits who turn out to be kindly souls after all.

*Yes yes, by the Jam, obv. More of a “Modern World” girl, if you see what I mean.

It appears from that photo that Jenny’s face has learned how to make a new expression! Perhaps she had too much perky-juice the previous night and is suffering from a comedown.

I was a bit distracted right at the end so I missed the light-fading – is JLH sobbing away because she is UP THE DUFF hence her constant avoidance of subject/sympathy with mums-to-be? Is she worried about whether her child will have the same gift OR IS IT A CURSE etc

Whispererer note: again with the seeing the ghost “go into the light”. Last week he just faded out. This week the lightgoer also faded, but FEET FIRST!

Anotherer note: actual real murdererer in this one, but even then there is no suggestion that JLH will shop the baddies to the Old Bill. She really is an social worker!
