For those of you that think that there's a lot goes on that we don't get told about, there's a programme about Porton Down on BBC 4 tonight. It's a repeat and from watching it before I think the word that stuck in my mind was 'unsettling'.
After that, the utterly magnificent Edge of Darkness. It's getting on a bit now but if you're old enough to remember the 1980s and you've not seen it before, you've missed out. There's a scene a couple of minutes long in the first episode with no words, just some music in the background, which ends with Bob Peck holding a teddy bear and a revolver. It's a spellbinding piece of acting, but the whole thing remains one of the landmark TV dramas.
I'll watch them with a glass of wine this evening, having first checked that it isn't full of anthrax, novichock or polonium.
