One way to ensure that the dystopian future of policing never happens is to ensure we find ways to ridicule it, that we mock it with intelligence, that we pour scorn on every circuit, and ask the those with the means to sow the seeds of derision, the artists with keen eye and sharp observation skills, to portray the need for AI in certain walks of responsible life to be curtailed.

If comedy is subjective and can rise and fall with whatever the fashion of the day dictates then at some point, we must expect almost every historical scenario to be discussed as potential for a sitcom, or at the least as backdrop and discussion in which to drive the genre forwards.

Party’s Over. Radio Comedy Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Miles Jupp, Ingrid Oliver, Emma Sidi, Justin Edwards, Rosie Cavaliero, Adam Riches.

You may feel at times like a fish out of water, a nobody masquerading as a human being, attempting to be interesting, trying your best to get through life and not fouling up to the point where you become a social embarrassment, where everybody disowns you or finds ways to shout obscenities at you; even if you did your best to be liked, to be on the side of angels.

To step into the shoes of the late, great, Jon Pertwee is surely a daunting task to which few would entertain, let alone actually attempt; and yet in the guise of one of the actor’s most famous parts, that of Worzel Gummidge, Mackenzie Crook not only captures the essence of the children’s television favourite, he brings the much loved scarecrow into the modern age, one that is steeped in a reflection of the need to bring nature much closer to the generations who have grown up within the boundary of concrete and tarmac, and the concern over climate change and human-made pollution has wrecked upon the planet.

There seems to be a fascination with the art of British wine making and the artistry of sensational jealous murder, it’s almost as if wine brings out the worst in those with evil nefarious intent and there is a subtle unsaid notion that the more natural drinks of the islands just leave you worse for wear, that there is no jealousy over a 40 year old Balvenie Malt apart from who gets the last amber drop.

Heracles would have perhaps laboured in vain to understand to the 21^st Century condition of false self pride and murderous intent that seems to be more prevalent than at any time in history, especially it seems in the academic halls of Oxford, to the point where he might have got in touch with Sisyphus and asked if it was possible to balance a collection of rocks on top of Everest for a while, than ever help the Thames Valley Police solve crimes in the area.
