Watched episode 1 of #TheGallowsPole . From the intro, was expecting something like C18th #PeakyBlinders. Instead, it was an hour of Yorkshiremen swearing at one another and complaining about how shite things are. The credits were the most interesting part of the entire episode. Disappointed.

This evening’s amble pic is of sunshine on the Cut. Can I also say how good #TheGallowsPole was on the telly. Superb stuff, trippy, naturalistic, strange and beautiful all at the same time. Yer man Meadows did a top notch job, and a part of the world in which we have been known to amble

Bewildering show
Concept self-consciously strange
Meadows lost his mojo

Don’t usually bother with telly on here but just to say the adaptation of #TheGallowsPole on BBC2 this evening was superb. I enjoyed the book and was looking forward to the adaptation, but it was even better than I could have imagined. Highly recommended.
