'Yuk' is too restrained.
That is seriously puke inducing stuff - and I mean SERIOUSLY.
Prime-time networked US TV too is my guess. It's far worse than our own Dale Wintons and similar - I simply could not watch it to the end. I really couldn't.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14

What are we talking about here? I don't see a link.
Of course given your reaction, this may be a blessing.

Sorry - my Blunder. All of post #1 - in spite of it saying it's Magda's, is in fact meeeee !
I seem to have edited Magda's original post instead of replying to it! The perils of logging is an and admin eh? - Duh.
Don't know how to get the original back but, since it consisted of just one word and an embedded video, maybe Magda could re-post it.
Sorry.

Peter, I've done this with two of Ed Jewett's posts as I was feverishly trying to correct typos etc in posts I made quoting his.

Perhaps I was wrong to hate smileys?
Nope.
My name remains absent from the role call of Smiley's People.
C'mon, David, if only out of respect for le Carre ...

They (audio CDs, actually -- although I think I'm the last person in America to have a new car with a CD changer AND cassette deck; thank God for Bose and Nissan) have not. I received shipping (from the U.K.) confirmation, and I expect them to arrive this week.
I'm eager to play TTSS. It's difficult to imagine a dramatization that could top the brilliant editing and arc-within-arc structure of Arthur Hopcraft's original screen adaptation. So too Sir Alec's embodiment of George Smiley.
But man, I'm open to the possibilities.
If only Anne were here to listen with me.
Perhaps I should join the cue.

Let me know what you think when you're done, I'm interested in your take on it.
Me, I think radio plays still have a good, long life.
