On an uplifting note, the Bake Off leaves me feeling curiously happy & optimistic; apart from the obviously twatty one who I shan't name. Cue the backlash :)
My kids say that too. I have never watched it mainly because 8pm on a Wednesday I am likely to be either at football or watching football.
I only know Hardy from radio plays, tv series and movies. He is one of those writers like Tolstoy that I have ear marked for my retirement.
