Obsessions
Nov. 16th, 2021 06:01 pmI have admitted before that although we are apending our evenings in front of the television, mostly we are not watching the much-praised dramas (unless they are based on the work of Ann Cleeves). We watch a lot of Pointless with Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman; we dip into Richard Osman's House of Games; and we have just watched the three installments of Alexander Armstrong's trip to Iceland. You will think that I am obsessed with these two presenters, and I will reply that no, it is the television which is obsessed with them.
My true obsession, and the reason I am posting about this, appears in that film about Iceland, in which Xander visits Heimaey:
Speed through to about 25 minutes in, just after the break, for the visit to the wildlife rescue center, and the puffins - Including the briefest blink-and-you've-missed-it film of puffins zipping about in the water.
Then they cut away to fuss over the Beluga whales. Some people have no taste.
