Preparing a special dinner the the little lady, are we?

[Sir C]

Cod cheeks, lentils, salsa verde.

Pol Roger.

And I've got Endeavour recorded :cloud9:

Sounds lovely. Champagne, though. :-\ I've come to the conclusion that if I never tasted Champagne again I wouldn't care. It - and I include all sparkling wine in this - is absurdly overrated.

Btw, how are you panné-ing those cod cheeks without using bread?

You're lucky, in that case, that I'm not planning on forcing you to drink my champagne.

They aren't to be pannéed today. I shall simply sauté them hard for 30 seconds a side. Treat them like scallops.

I wasn't having a pop at you drinking Champagne, simply expressing my present feelings about it, you touchy little thing, you.

Is there a sauce? Something to zhuzh them up a bit?

They will, of course, be treated to a spritz of lemon juice before leaving the pan. The salsa verde is what makes the dish, tbh. It's a recipe from Polpo, and it's jolly good there.

Of course. If I'd actually read the original post properly, I'd have realised that. :homer:

This the fellow, is it?

Well Morse is in it, so that's one tit.

That's him, although in fairness I don't remember the one I had looking quite so grey and gruel-like.

It does look a little bit as though someone's already eaten it, doesn't it?

[Sir C]

Easy, tiger.

They're up to the late 60s now.They must be within 14 years of the real thing. Just think... within touching distance of John Thaw and Kevin Whateley :-( I can almost taste it. The Wolvercote Tongue. Cherabim and Seraphim. Last Bus To Woodstock. The Dead of Jericho. Deceived By Flight. (That one had cricket in.) Greeks Bearing Gifts.

I hope I can avoid making it look like that. If not, ho hum, I'll neck it anyway.

Are they going to start making him look more like John Thaw, then?

[Sir C]

Surely they can clone a new John Thaw? I bet they could if they wanted to. They did a sheep ages ago.

Selfish ****s.

I hope so. Then we could have a new series of Home To Roost. His finest hour, I think we can all agree.

He is developing the Morsey characteristics at last. Rude, arrogant, aloof, and so on. Though he has some way to go before being the sort who doesn't know where the bar is.

Does he ever have it off with a lady? John Thaw never got his hole at all as far as I could make out.

One GoT actor stood beside me in the bar at PW last night.

And Stephen Rea. They chatted.

Amusingly, I note that Canada have just been beaten by Nepal in a one-dayer. :hehe:

He seems to this very episode, as a matter of fact. The details are unclear but the young lady is in his flat in the morning.

Of course he has to take a break from Oxford in the 70s to join The Sweeney.

"You're Nicked."

Sounds like it puts paid to your theory that he died a virgin.

He died in the last episode, btw. I know you've never watched it.
