CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last night's TV: Could a social worker really cut it as a Belfast cop?

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 27, 2023
EVEN STEVENS, a christophere: Even to my credulity, there are limits. And, frankly, I can't believe that a former social worker would ever be good news for the police. All the social workers I've ever encountered (and, boy, I've seen a lot - if you're the parent of a disabled child, they're all over you) have one key characteristic.

The television company that brought us Naked Attraction, Sex Box, and art-porn films in a red triangle continues to promote the fact that other people's sexual preferences are nothing more than their own. So Ch4 was hardly likely to miss the chance to go muck-raking as it marked the 25th anniversary of what one contributor called the biggest news st

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS discusses last night's television show: DI Sunny returns with a chimney, and Unforgotten's adamant new boss. It is there, the haunting theme tune. Throughout five seasons of Unforgotten (ITV1), All We Do, by married pop duo Oh Wonder, is immediately evocative of ancient unsolved murders. The CD was on loop in my local cafe prior to the pandemic. It was playing when I stopped for a cup of coffee and a croissant (the fuel of armchair detectives everywhere). I got the uneasy feeling that a skeleton was under the patio terrace, and that all the tables were somehow connected to the murder. A vivid imagination is a curse.

JAN MOIR: The luvvies' new migrant controversies are based on fairy-tale tales

JAN MOIR: Hankies are on alert. The Refugee Council has produced a film that claims that the British Government is an unashamed slew of dirty rotters trying to criminalize refugees trying to enter the country illegally. The council has co-opted an elite of empathetic Left-wing celebrities - aka the typical suspects - to appear both rich and serious in this tear-stained video, while still spouting the most revolting nonsense you've ever heard in this tear-stained video.

'This wallpaper, which predates the castle, has been used in a celebration,' Lady Eliza says. There have been four castles on the site, the new one being built between 1801 and 1832.
