Akram: "In my experience it's usually better for the surveilled not to know that they are being surveilled."

Carl: "Yeah, sometimes it's better to give the cage a good rattle to see how the tiger responds when it wakes up."

Akram: "This is how many animal trainers have lost their arm."

The basement's finest... dead on target.

Inspired by the prompts 'most chaotic trio', 'colour coordinated' and 'most intense look' 😅 for @qvember.

I love "portraits" so this was a lot of fun!

folk wonder why Carl Morck still obsesses me when I struggle to even be coherent about him, like HEY LOOK 👀 grouchy disillusioned cynical detective, wonder what’s inside? 👀 a pathetic snivelling wet rag of a man who wants desperately to be loved and won’t admit it 🤌 simply exquisite, and inside that? 🙀 a heart of gold, scratched and dull and broken, but oh so golden nonetheless? delectable 👀 he’s a total cunt by the way, he’s both annoying and very English IN SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Oh and delicately fucking unstable. Carl is not well at all. it’s most distressing. his partner the badass stoic enigmatic martial arts hottie is practically normal by comparison. I’m screaming over here girls, I’m chewing the walls

Proof - if proof were needed - that Matthew Clairmont likes a handful of arse.

Matthew Scene by Scene - Episode 2  #5  - The HAT.

Spoilers if you haven’t seen episode 2.

Yep Matthew is striding about again.  I’m not complaining tho’ coz this time he is wearing the saucy hat at a rakish angle,  with a feather on top like a cherry on a cake!  Damn it, that hat is completely ridiculous as a piece of headgear yet on him it works.  

As if things couldn’t get worse for Matthew he gets cornered by Father Hubbards henchmen in a dark alley.  Couldn’t Matthew just, you know, kill them?  I mean no-one would blame him after the mare of a day he’s been having.  

Let’s just savour that hat a little more before moving on shall we? 

Hubbard wants to see him. 

Matthew is threatening but is it all bravado.  Father Hubbard is all powerful in London and he poses yet another threat to Diana.  

Bring the witch!   

Oh dear - yet another powerful person who Matthew clearly didn’t want bump into on his ‘secret’ visit to London.   He wanted to be quick in and out of the past, without getting spotted, but it’s all going a bit pear shaped for Matthew.

Matthew Scene by Scene - Episode 2  #6  - Don’t Panic!

Spoilers if you haven’t seen episode 2 plus minor book spoilers.

Matthew is in a flap.  He must be or he wouldn’t have sent for Kit.  The only answer to the problem is to drink heavily.  

Matthew tells Diana the story of the vampire Hubbard.  Those of us who have read the books already know who made Hubbard a vamp ….  no spoilers on that tho’ - wait for season 3!  But it’s a gobsmacker of a secret for me to keep. 

Matthew explains how Hubbard gathers up the lost souls of the city.  Which Diana thinks is noble.  Kit appears like he owns the place and helps himself to a drink.  I mean does he not remember how he got whooped the last time he saw Matthew.  Cheeky.   Anyway - Kit says that Hubbard controls his flock as well as looking after them.  

Matthew is rattled - he was hoping this wouldn’t happen.  Sometimes our hero is too naive for words.  Hubbard, as the most powerful creature in London, would obviously find out that Matthew was back in town.  I mean - Matthew is hardly inconspicuous. He looks like a giant catwalk model so of course you would notice him.  

Matthew warns Diana not to let Hubbard drink her blood. Eh? WTF says Diana? Like she would do that.  I mean that’s not something you do when you first meet someone new is it?  Here - have a drink of my blood.  It’s witchy and sweet - come and get it. 

Matthew explains that it’s part of Hubbards creepy adoption ritual.   It reveals your secrets    Oh.  Help.  

 [Sidenote - we’ve seen the ‘flashbacks’ when Gerbert drinks from Juliette also Matthew drinks from Gillian and later Diana in season 1 - but I don’t think anyone has specifically said before that vampires drinking your blood lets them see all your secrets.  Vamps obviously only tell people this stuff on a need to know basis.  Jeez.]

Diana is obviously a bit miffed.  

Hubbard might find out more than he bargained for if he gets a load of Diana and Matthew getting it on in the future and finds out that they are ‘time spinners’.   Kit actually redeems himself a little with some sensible advice.  Basically - Don’t get killed.  OK then Kit.

We always say we’re such yin and yang. We click together so well. I just adore him— he’s crazy and kooky.

Note: in this video Matthew indicates that we should keep our fingers crossed not for three, but four or five seasons. He seems very sincere.

My scenario goes like this. Deb finishes and publishes her fifth book, hopefully right around the screening of season three. Sky, because of the popularity of both book and series, decides two more seasons are in order. Why wouldn’t they? This series has broken viewing records on both sides of the pond and around the world. They would be fools not to. And if they don’t maybe Netflix will pick it up. They did with Lucifer. While creating seasons four and five, Deb finishes book 6.

I do agree that Mathew has said he wants variety, but don’t you agree that other than the characters being the same, each book is substantially different. I’m just going to believe we will eventually end up with 6 seasons.

[pleasereadmeok]

Goode for you!  Hang on to that.   I’ll be hoping for this along with you. 

I think Sky would LOVE to do this for the cash alone.  

On Matthew’s involvement - that’s a goode point about the variety that he gets to play in this role.  Plenty to get his teeth into - literally.   And Covid has changed everything coz there’s less work around so this could be a lifeline.    AND the timing would be perfect for him if he could get Downton movie 2 and TWS 4 in the bag before they started a fourth season. 

Never say never.

Matthew Goode as Gary Spargo in The Lookout.  

Just to prove there is life apart from ADOW season 2 right now.  A must watch - you will hardly recognise that it’s him.  The charm is still there but he’s badass.
