#there's a lot of extra subtext that often comes alongside vampire stories that i think come across here as well

Rewatched the Stakeout recently and this bit (of all parts) really interested me, largely because it reminded me of another supernatural episode.

(This is all kind of a ramble sorry!!)

If I had a quid for every time a seemingly nice in9 Reece character that is revealed to have done and/or will do very violent acts used a silly term to avoid swearing, I would have two quid, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Although, unlike Varney, Urban breaks this facade a bit later on when he's panicking about the emergency power.

Similar to Varney during that call, Urban is alone when he breaks. Granted, Varney couldn't get away with dropping his plan to hunt and kill Thompson to the figure on the other side of the controller, but he is more free to break any present act he has when his future victim isn't present. And yet he doesn't, which interests me a ton about how much of what Varney shows is and isn't an act to lure in Thompson.

Also TINKLES?? I'm sorry how am I meant to take the threatening vampire seriously when he breaks out the "he's going tinkles"? 🙄 lol
