APB and Anne Robinson - a lesson

"The pair are thought to have been dating for about 20 months but have gone out of their way to avoid being seen together in public. Not for nothing is Mr Parker Bowles known for his discretion.

Yet their unlikely romance has been an open secret within certain society circles in the Cotswolds, where both maintain their own homes."

The notion of telling everyone and anyone that one is dating is not for everyone. The upper crust of Britain goes about their days not really caring about who's zooming who. It's why Charles & Camilla could mostly go about their lives pre-marriage with minimal fuss. Well, until a Grosvenor wants to get married and follows whatever protocol is accepted at the time.

Excerpt about Selfie (2014):

In terms of representation, I'm really proud to have pushed for more diversity in my casting. For example, the character of Henry Higgins in “Selfie” was written as a part for an upper-class English guy, and we cast John Cho, and he was fantastic. I’m still proud of that.

ANYONE REMEMBER THIS?

Anyone remember the show, The Weakest Link? In 2001, I think, they had guests from Star Trek playing for charity.

I remember John de Lancie, Wil Wheaton, Robert Picardo, Denise Crosby, William Shatner, Levar Burton, and a few others were on it.

Anyway, I remember that I felt bad for John de Lancie because I honestly thought he looked SO uncomfortable onstage, answering questions. He gave the correct answer to the question about what the "e" in email stood for, but his answer of "Wyoming" to the question about "What state is America's last frontier?", was incorrect. It was a good guess, though, John.

Unfortunately, JDL got eliminated first, but he raised a couple hundred dollars for his charity.

William Shatner in typical fashion, joked Kirk-style and even kissed Ann Robinson. He got eliminated soon after JDL did.

The winner was Levar Burton, whose answer "Antebellum" to the question about what term describes a period of time before the American Civil War was correct. Burton is a smart guy, for sure! He raised around $125,000.

“Mistress Fisher, I hardly think it the opportune moment for such conversation.”

“On the contrary your grace, I find it perhaps the only moment that is opportune. And know I do not ask this for curiosities sake but because I must know if I am to find His Highness - who was John Norwich to you?”

The Duke of Essex shifts against his bonds, somehow still elegant despite their current conditions (tied up in a run down warehouse in the worst corner of London, soon to be worse)

“I suppose you might call him the monster beneath my bed. But he is dead, Phryne - what relation would he have to this?”

(It would take a very intelligent and observant ear to hear the desperate fear in the level voice but Phryne knows her gifts very well and can hear it. She does not comment upon the matter).

“Contacts. Those who perhaps, have lost profits that came from him. And there is somewhat else here, is there not?”

“His secretary. And the Hexham family. You think they were also benefiting and now wish to take vengeance?”

Never let it be said that His Grace was not equally as quick. Phryne once again cursed that his heart was so firmly elsewhere - he truly was beautiful.

“I cannot image that…the secretary would - he might smart from the loss of profit but above all he looks to his own survival - why would he become involved in such dangerous treasons?.”

“Perhaps he had no choice. Perhaps the Hexhams know somewhat that would lead to his extremely unpleasant demise in a dark alley. Perhaps they know exactly how much he assisted in your pain, Your Grace, as much as your escape.”

“I told him he could have me, if he let me leave. I knew even then, somewhat of how to play such matters - though I have no appeal myself I knew that he yearned after that which his master had. I knew he would easily shift the blame to the other servant who had…hurt others.”

(For @nocompromise-noregrets - an in universe bit of dialogue from the Tudors OT3 verse version of the Miss Fisher TV show (in this case Mistress Fisher. Phryne is a widow which is why she has so much freedom. She may or may not have helped her husbands unwilling mistress stab him. She also has two stepdaughters)
