I enjoyed Wednesday's BBC dramatisation of Henry James' Turning of the Screw, but admit to failing to take it seriously from early on.
Despite the enjoyable production I ruined it for myself during the scene where the governess went to meet young Miles at the station.
As the steam and smoke cleared to reveal young Miles resplendent in his school uniform complete with a top hat atop a shock of bright blond hair, I said out loud: "Blimey, it's a young Boris Johnson."
From that moment on, any scene that featured 'young Boris' was tainted by me adding my own words in an admittedly appalling impression of the likeable buffoon.
Happy new year by the way...
