| The other night I started the second season of Extraordinary, which is cute, inventive, funny and at it's best very funny. Buoyed by the happy mood from the first couple of episodes, I watched The Completely Made up Adventures of Dick Turpin, which perhaps looked quite amusing when written down. Oh ... |
