Yesterday I watched a fascinating documentary called The Detectives about Greater Manchester Serious Sexual Offences Unit meticulously investigating a rape and also (separate case) historic child abuse by the DJ Ray Teret, a mate of Savile and found it riveting. When they found the graffiti evidence they were expecting under a layer of wallpaper in his former flat the feeling of revulsion I felt and the sense of evil perpetrated made me more sure than ever that nobody should ever joke about those men.

Well I think we are never too old to learn more about he world and the day I no longer enjoy learning or feel I know it all, they had better be choosing the hymns!

I found all the procedural stuff fascinating Soutra and I was very impressed by the police women we saw. In police dramas they always seem to be either ultra glamorous or shabby divorcees. These women seemed to be normal professionals doing their jobs efficiently and cheerfully.
