CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Here's a handy 'life hack.' If someone offers you a quick, easy, time-saving way to do a chore, please disregard them. You'll save yourself a lot of money by avoiding a lot of anxiety. Ingenious ways to open cans of beans, pack suitcases, or lace your boots never work. That's because they're created by teenage influencers for TikTok videos, who insist that everything new must be better. Reunion Hotel (BBC2, and BBC1 Wales) was a prime example of the hopeless hack, the duvet sausage, an innovative way of getting yourself into a knot when attempting to turn a quilt into a cover. This is how it works: Turn the cover inside out and lay it on the mattress. Place the duvet on top. Roll them up to the open end. Slice the sausage back, give the whole thing a hefty shake, sprain your arm, yell at annoyance, and voila! You will end up with a gritty continental quilt. Marvelous.
