Normally, I would never be caught watching the GoodLife TV Network but I noticed that they’d started running The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in chronological order. (I had never seen the series apart from five of the movies made from either extended versions of episodes or conflated versions of two-part episodes. The DVD box of the movie versions was a Christmas gift from Mum last year. The actual series is still unavailable on DVD.) Caroline was pretty excited at this development. GoodLife is also running the spinoff series The Girl From U.N.C.L.E., which is billed as “adventure comedy” or somesuch (without really being either), which Caroline hadn’t previously seen, but we couldn’t take more than two episodes of Stefanie Powers’ inability to hold onto the same accent for more than eight words at a time. The whole affair was embarrassing.
One good thing did come out of viewing one of those Girl episodes (“The Romany Lie Affair”), however: the idea of whisky in tea. Cheers!
