Can we control our hormones?
bosporan12 April 2022
Two drunks by a canal, one murders the other and Harry and Fergus happen to be nearby when the body is dredged up. Harry recognises the corpse and it does not match with the ID he is carrying.

Harry deploys granddaughter Lola into a posh girl's school to gather information and Fergus hangs out at a kennel, though he is scared of dogs.

Rather too many serendipitous story steps and a prosaic plot, but all around an entertaining 40 minutes.

Mincemeat
Prismark1024 March 2023
The story starts off with two men talking next to a canal. Then one of them hits the other on the head and pushes him into the canal.

The dead man is identified as John O'Toole. Only Harry Wild recognises the dead man as an Eastern European who had recently been delivering leaflets to her house.

So just who was John O'Toole?

To gather more information, Harry ropes in her granddaughter to go undercover at a private school. Get vital information from the dead man's daughter.

It is a story about subterfuge. Mincemeat is Operation Mincemeat, a second world war strategy. Harry believes that John O'Toole, a shady guy faked his own death with someone who looked similar to him.

At least the episode is educational which fits the brief of Harry Wild as an academic. It is easy and undemanding viewing, never substantial though.

Language
I have grown tired writer's using language that mimics the way "Real People" speak. We don't use that kind of language in any house I've lived in. I guess I'll have to move out of "Acorns" house. Time to cancel another subscription.
