John Carpenter?

Ah, no, indeed. I meant John Christopher. Thanks for the spot!

Also like all of those people are dead.

A lot of them are also fictional. Besides, death isn’t the handicap it used to be. Oh, Red Dwarf! Plus Blake’s Seven, Black Mirror, Inside Number 9, The Inbetweeners, Friday Night Dinner, Peep Show, Spaced, The Detectorists, The Thick of It, Happy Valley, Broadchurch, Luther.

Peaky Blinders. Derry Girls.

And Slow Horses, how could I have forgotten Slow Horses?
