No army time for harry - either because the tommies wdnt turn up or because it is not about Megz
first two hours, were the acadian times - they had so much going for them, and the next four hours will be about them squandering it all

(though i do enjoy the crown for the performances and storytelling)
story telling.... some of the Crown is not true and some ( suez ) telling it like it was
( suez advisor lost his FO job and seat in parliament after saying " are you all crazy dont do it!"
Being right ( as we all know on AB) is not the thing and is certainly not the only thing)
and no, the Duke of E and MI5 did NOT plan Di's death to prevent her from marrying an Arab
( but there are a billion fellas out there who think they did)

Had to look that one up: tele hacking for other readers.
Three hours is a bluuuur - Leveson doesnt get a mench BUT full of statements of lies ( Bashir) , under hand paparazzi - photogs leaping out of bushes
Cover up ( leveson was about that wasnt it) about the role the Di had in her own pursuit by unwanted paparazzi
Hilarious untruths - er can't think of any now - oh surprise she has to follow protocol when meeting the queen. - didnt she think of this when SHE invited Hazza out - who sat there like a tethered goat, bleating every now and then
Oh, America is the land of the free and not colour conscious at all !
and odd referring to her as 'black' which is deffo NOT what the Brits wd say - afro-caribbean, which jars a bit. - so clearly made for a foreign market.
Long long bit about Britain's African Empire no mention of India ( Mogz is Black and not Asian) and so in the post imperial age, Britain and Hazza'a family is responsible for every collapsed state and republic south of Marseille.

thank you thank you
I need to be told these things.
Both that and
I heard about a great programme featuring a bizarre young woman...After I've finished watching Wednesday, I'll cancel it again.
both are paraprosdokians by the way -
Violet Trefusis ( violet tres confusee) wrote a book where critics said, should be renamed 'Here Lies Violet Trefusis' - most of my good one liners are overtly stolen or hi jacked

I tried to watch it, because I think it's only fair to discuss a programme in detail if you have seen it.
And I stuck it out for nearly half an hour, and then I had to stop.
Not because of the judicious use of footage to attempt to back up Harry's recollections of living life in a lens all the time.
Or even Meghan's recollections of their relationship, which made them sound like a pair of fourteen-tear-olds - finding out who he 'really' was by reading his social media ouput.
No, I could manage that.
It was the music!!!!!
Those endless weeping violins, the constant arpeggio piano backing (if you don't know ow that sounds, listen to Someone Like You By Adele) - it made me want to pull my own face off!
Now I accept that my reaction to any music I hear is more extreme than anyone I know, but I can usually make myself ignore it, and concentrate on what's going on, and not the accompanying sounds, but with this, I simply couldn't.
I got the thrust of the series - Harry and Meghan have lucked in with a company who could convince viewers that black is actually white (no pun intended!) through judicious editing, and setting out a narrative, and then finding newsreel footage edited to make it fit.
I know the American viewers will lap it up, and the British viewers will see the sham and artifice involved.
But I won't be able to watch any more of it - of 'M' and 'H' cooing over how fabulous each other is ...
What it comes down to for me, as a British person, and I suspect that many will feel the same, is the position I have adopted over Harry since this nonsense started -
What singularly fails to grasp is that sitting in his $12 million mansion in California moaning about how hard-done to he is, is never ever going to grant him an atom of the sympathy he clearly believes is his by right.
Understand this Harry - every time your name is mentioned, it is preceded by the word 'Prince' - and that's where your right to moan ends. Right there.

Thanks for the comment on the muzak Andy - I found it a bit - - plaintive
There was a lot on his mother
and I thought ( as the producers tried to bring out the parallels) that she was a bad role model - and he was making the same mistakes and expecting a different outcome.
Harry Pothead for example - no recognition that that is what newshounds do, and like him, they do it for the moolah. - and they did it to young Bliar who is now a multimillionaire

oh it is like a Shakespeare tragedy
you cant just do the good bits
actually they ( you ) cd miss out all the slavery bits - they also had the Colston statue Bristol splishy bit. Megz wasnt there was she?
THEN they had a long bit ( with Olusangwe who did the houses in time series. ) on slavery in the British Empire. Slave trade over 1806, slavery abolished 1833 - and I thought, this is nothing to do with Megz. no but it will go down well with the American audience
AND clearly explains why the House of Windsor is racist. oh
