I Am A Swede

Wow, Steffi has hardly aged at all. As for Andre.....

Maybe it's wrong but I find that ad hilarious and clever in a way. I don't know, maybe I just have a weird sense of humour......

^^ Frightening is the word I would use.

So cynical.....yet probably the absolute truth!

^^ Bad idea! I think they (and Emmerdale) should reduce the number of episodes instead. Emmerdale only aired two episodes per week all the way from the start in 1972 up to the beginning of 1997, and it's been downhill ever since.

On a different political note.... Today it's exactly 30 years since the fall of the Berlin wall. One of the most momentous occasions in world politics in the last 50 years I would dare to say. What was most astonishing was how quickly the wall fell, and I don't mean literally. The whole communist system that had held eastern Europe in an iron grip since the 1940s, came tumbling down like a house of cards.

They have re-cast Ellis https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-50343564

With Jackie Tong it was different. Her character, Daisy, replaced Pauline Collins' Sarah, and although Pauline did some wonderful work Sarah was not my favourite character. So it was easier to accept Daisy and over the years she really grew on me until by the end of the show she was one of my favourites. Daisy was one of the characters who changed the most over the years, together with Edward (who also became her husband). Talking about this has given me the urge to re-watch this show now..... I think I'll do that when I'm on vacation over Christmas. It's been a while since last time.
