#ThisIsDavidLander s1e4 (1988) - 8/10
Best episode yet.
1️⃣ #TonyRobinson and #FrancesBarber are hilarious as the parents of a wrongly-imprisoned teenager.
2️⃣ But, across the board, it’s a strong episode with an elaborate story.
3️⃣ The individual skits really play around with the tropes of investigative journalist shows (hidden camera, expert testimony, obscured face/voice, on-the-street confrontation, etc.)
📺 My 240th TV episode of 2023. Averaging 2h21m of TV, per day.

Terry’s assistant Rob was doing it, and struggling somewhat in rehearsals on the day of the lecture. Then Tony turned up unexpectedly that afternoon, keen to see the lecture (his own mum had had #dementia) and one thing led to another, and Tony spoke Terry’s words recorded live that night. Wow. That really worked.

Tony Robinson is awesome. I love his history programs, and his children's books are worth a read, even if you are an adult.
