Anywhere Is

As of last week we have finally got my parents to switch over to having the groceries delivered rather than collecting them from the supermarket. This actually only happened because it turned out that my father has an abdominal hernia he didn’t tell anyone about which flared up the Saturday before last resulting in a call to 111 in the middle of the night and a trip to A&E when our doctors surgery wouldn’t give him an appointment. He’s OK (hopefully being put on a waiting list for surgery) but as sis is working and I’ve been mostly out of action for best part of the last three months he’s been having to do the shopping on his own, something he couldn’t manage last week so we suggested getting a delivery and after resisting the idea for so long they now realise how much easier it is!

I've personally always hated the idea of a 'showrunner' as it puts too much power in one person's hands. Now would be a good time to return to having a producer who is not head writer, or even a writer at all, and a script editor capable of reigning in ridiculous excesses. There needs to be someone who can say no.
