You can buy my debut novel, The A to Z of Normal, worldwide. I also blog, as The Reluctant Perfectionist, about mental health issues, dementia and elderly care.

@AkibiCreative Thanks for posting this. It was driving me mad trying to think what it reminded me of!

@leedsandyb76 @Moo_deemoo Me too! Watching these dramas is like being in a bad relationship, where you keep thinking things will get better and then get fooled over and over again.

@ange0801 Yes, the maths just don't add up. Ridiculous casting.

#thecuckoo I don't know which bit of the cliff Sian was supposed to have fallen from, because Jessica and Alice were standing nowhere near any sheer drops. It actually looked as if Sian would just have rolled down a shallow slope. No wonder she wasn't dead!

@themrmatthew Linda was one of the interviewers. The other remaining female candidate was Flo. She was actually my favourite, so I'm sorry she didn't make it through.

@DebbieBlackma14 @mrscarter22 @aaabbb3 I agree, from the things that the aunt has said.

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@PennersWHU I think from the things her aunt has said that her own baby died.

@GraemeAThomson @ALCS_UK It's truly mysterious! I'd love to know who's using my self-published novel in a way that generates these secondary royalties. I'm most grateful for them and for #ALCS work, in any event.

@ptr_yeung @willjennings80 Wow! Closer to 1/250,000 for me 😂 However, I'm still extremely grateful to #ALCS, as it would be £0 without them - and I received the highest amount yet this year. I remain mystified as to who is using my self-published novel in a way to create any secondary royalties!

#coma So what was all that about with the policewoman's bad neck in the first 3 episodes? I assumed it was foreshadowing, but it proved to be a complete red herring - and I don't think she mentioned it at all in the last episode? All round, yet another ridiculous drama!

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@VeronicaPullen Yes, Mr Bean is exactly right! I was also thinking of Frank Spencer. 😂 I'm just not feeling the sympathy that I should for Simon. To be honest, I'm finding him quite irritating!

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@theproperKP Yesss! You'd think the police woman would have queried his sudden switch in attitude to the bloke.

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@SuzannePFY61 A wise decision! 🤣

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@BBCNews The audio on the News at 10 is quiet, scratchy-sounding and almost incomprehensible! What's going on?

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@tracyd1801 And it still looks immaculate in spite of all the running and the chasing and the falling down the stairs!

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@FrankieWriting @heb147 @BBCNews I'm in Derby. Maybe it will rectify itself in a north to south direction! 🤣 Thank goodness for Twitter, though at least I also have the reassurance that other channels are fine, so it's not my ears (which have been blocked lately!).

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@FrankieWriting @heb147 @BBCNews It's still completely haywire on my TV.

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@FrankieWriting @BBCNews Yes, me too! Why haven't they made some announcement about the audio being completely indecipherable?!

[Helen Barbour 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @HelenTheWriter]

@RichmondTe10648 @AuramysticAnne Yesss! She put the food straight into her mouth about two seconds after it had come out of the microwave, which probably would have caused third degree burns. 🤪
