I binged it last night. I quite enjoyed it.

Century Falls... an early Russell T Davis screenplay from '93.
In much the same vein as Children of the Stones; weird village, weird locals, new comers wondering why it's all a bit weird and each episode is weirder than the last. Great series, well written, crappy dialogue with a lacklustre ending but it's the journey that matters. I enjoyed it.

On the subject of Lockerbie
many years later I was working with a colleague on a computer system in a warehouse in Chepstow
turned out that a Senior Manager and his lacky were also down there from Head Office
he was a "proper manager - said with all the contempt and cynicism I can manage
Yup "one of them"
anyway - as people from Head Office he sort of insisted that we go out go dinner together - which we unwillingly agreed to
after dinner we were having an after dinner drink in the pub and he was holding forth about how important he was
and he was saying how he was critical in order to get new Stores open
and one example was in the North of Scotland
I can still hear him saying that when he heard about the plane crash he was horrified
because the lorries carrying the stock for the new shop were on that road and he didn;t know if they had got through before the crash
but it was OK - he rang the shop and found they made it
THAT was his first thought
AND he was proud of it
boy did we avoid him for the rest of the week!!!

I think it's brilliant TV, the Colin Firth one was very good too but this is showing us everything not just one man. After it's finished I'll be doing some reading about things it is bringing up, for instance was the american governments lack of support initially really as bad as it's made out?
I'm now also looking for a performance of "The women of Lockerbie", a play about the ladies we see cooking, washing and caring for the results and victims.

You have to understand that the US's immediate priority was to cover up the fact that one of their CIA agents had a stack load of drugs on that plane.

That sounds a rabbit hole I'm going to enjoy going down. I know there are various things about it worth reading up on about the disaster, I'm avoiding doing so not for now not because spoilers as such but that I'm really enjoying the show so far and want to let that tell me until it finishes.
