Here's a post from a fledgling blog I started in April 2005 and abandoned in March 2006. It's about all those annoying TV programmes that fall victim to lazy storylines where a foul deed is committed by an "evil twin." Even my favourite telly detectives have resorted to this inane formula.
But the subject of my rant on this occasion was a two-parter called Class of 76, starring the otherwise sublime Robert Carlyle.
Note to self: Must write more.
If this is the sort of codswallop that passes for top TV drama then I have to be in with a shout.
Last night I could hardly sleep as I was so scared after watching the first part of Class of 76.
Now it's all been revealed. It was the evil twin whodunnit, traumatised into psychopathy by the death of her sibling.
Utter utter nonsense and only about the 10th such denouement I've had the misfortune to watch in the last six years.
