Possible polymath and one man tour de force Jonathan Meades has rasied the improbably low bar in TV again with his latest Off Kilter look at Scotchlandshireville. Against all the odds and also trends of the day the viewer is inculcated with facts, figures and all manner of fings wot you would be expecting from an Autodidact such as he. This latest peach really is as good an hour of TV as I can recall. I'll be picking this up as part of my xmas bounty if SWMBO is listening. Incidentally, the reviewer on IMDB put it best I think with this...
The most entertaining and erudite TV polemicist ... ever?
Our reviewer has my vote and I know I've watched far to much television to not justifiably have a fair shot at an opinion. If you haven't checked out JM's stuff before you really should try. There is so much in every two minutes to tickle even the fickle part of your brain.
And aren't those specs just the bustiest of ball busters. Rose coloured glasses and still acerbic; delicious.
