@lomadiah.bsky.social The sad thing is, I know which episode of Miss Marple this is.. I really shouldn't have sat and watched these murder mysteries with my grandmother when I was seven..

Classic

Brilliantly entertaining!

It's The Mirror Cracked isn't it? IIRC the entire solution hinges on one of those very innocuous sounding lines.

On in homage to Angela Lansbury's 100th. What's doing my head in is that we were watching Hickson in Nemesis last night, on a different channel - and now I see that as Jarvis too 🎶 I called her Nemesis. She's a bulldog, an avenging godess, And the last time I saw her, she was wearing a pink shawl 🎶

The Ghost of Christie’s Past.

I'll be gutted if Jarvis doesn't write a song about Heather Babcock.

I can just hear the “morning Miss Marple, how’s the leg” in Jarvis’ voice as one of his cutting asides

There are a few movies on Plex that I had to give up on as (I assume) a combination of auto-subtitle and auto-translate had generated some interesting poetry that didn't seem to correspond to the images. Abandoned so far: Soshun/Early Spring, A Story of Floating Weeds, Street of Shame. Worth a look.

😅😆😅😀😀

Raymond! Such a dear boy, and so generous! 😆

Perfect in every single way. Thank you for sharing.

That's brilliant!

Cut to: film deal, book rights, game franchise etc etc. It was just perfect 🤩

And finally, a little bit of video I took at the beginning, with the sound of me saying “ooh that’s funny” removed. This is how it would have appeared to a deaf person…

@laurenlaverne.bsky.social your intro also got caught up in the Pulp / Mrs Marple mashup!

Mrs Babcock's flap could go global.

This is truly making hope normal again!

Brilliant! This is from the “This is Hardcore” sessions right?

PS: they still haven’t caught on at the Beeb?? Or maybe they can’t fix it?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh this is priceless!!

Seriously how did anyone notice?

I can hear this in my head.

They need to work towards somehow making this Christmas number one.

you can *hear* the music

That’s just a Pulp song.

Seems to have been fixed now, sadly, but it was glorious while it lasted.

Meanwhile, deaf viewers on another channel are wondering why Miss Marple is suggesting all the suspects meet up again in the year 2000.

… that just happened with us, I think it was In Plain Sight via iTunes.

Amazing. I can just hear him asking "How's the leg?" in an inappropriately seedy way.

Imagine being alive to see this! Lucky!

She told me that her Dad was loaded I said "In that case, I'll have rum and Coca-Cola" She said "fine" And then in thirty seconds time she said [Chorus] "Morning, Miss Marple. How's the leg?"

If I saw those screenshots without context I would absolutely be happy to take them at face value.

If anyone would respond to this by genuinely writing a song to those lyrics, it's Jarvis!

The video shows a little Ukrainian girl blowing out candles on a birthday cake but outside in the cold as they have fled their home.

Thanks! It would appear that iPlayer can grab the wrong subtitles stream, so you may have been the only person seeing this wonderfully surreal juxtaposition. I have seen programmes broadcast with the subtitles for a different episode on Quest, but not on the BBC, yet...

I'm desperate to know how her leg is now.

No wait! Oh god it was The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side! My nerd cred nooooo!

Was just thinking that. You can hear it, sly and insinuating with a healthy dash of plausible deniability.

Certainly those could have been the lyrics to a Pulp song and I can hear them in the voice that Jarvis puts on for dialogue in songs like 'Common People'. Great.

Cabling has never been my strong suit. How I ended up looking after Brian Eno’s studio equipment remains a mystery.

I can just hear javis saying these words with his talkie hushed tones…

Genuinely hilair

Thank you Peter and thank Jarvis, the BBC, and the cosmic alignment that brought this into being.

Day made, and I'm not even out of bed yet! 😂😂😂

They should do that for all the boring award shows!

The TV guide was screwed up too, apparently I was watching 'The Blues Brothers'.
