Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title is a quote from a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Love's Philosophy": The fountains mingle with the river, / And the rivers with the ocean; / The winds of heaven mix forever / With a sweet emotion; / Nothing in the world is single; / All things by a law divine / In another's being mingle-- / Why not I with thine? // See, the mountains kiss high heaven, / And the waves clasp one another; / No sister flower could be forgiven / If it disdained its brother; / And the sunlight clasps the earth, / And the moonbeams kiss the sea;-- / What are all these kissings worth, / If thou kiss not me?
- GoofsHathaway states that Shelley was thrown out of Oxford for having an affair with a married woman. He was in fact sent down from University College for refusing to retract his publication the "Necessity of Atheism".

Featured review
Good episode
Interesting story with good acting by Tom Riley as the autistic artist. Using the 'stacks' of the Bodleian library was a good idea that could have been made more of. (How odd that the library only seems to have two employees, of whom one is dead.)
It's all a bit unlikely as usual - coincidentally, everybody who ever appears turns out to be linked.
I still have my problems with Lewis and Hathaway as a team. The scene outside the party exemplifies this. If the title 'The Glums' had not already been taken, it would be quite appropriate for the double act of these two. Hathaway, in particular, is a charisma and interest free zone. On the good side, his diction seems a little better than previously.
