Well, look: I was in a comfy chair and that's perhaps why this episode is a little lacklustre. There is literally nothing to recommend it. Perhaps making Seward a bit more estuary is enjoyable for me, but makes little sense. You can't really imagine the Westenras having him over to shoot or hunt, but who knows? Lucy does sound like she plays the field a bit in terms of suitors - or did, at any rate before the big bite.
I afraid I got the stomach rumbles during this episode. I've excised some of them with brutal imprecision.
It's a long book. But we seem to be picking up a few more listeners - like a cart during the Black Death. Pushing up towards 3 figures now! Let's hope we can smash that lofty barrier before the aliens invade good and proper.
