Small Prophets is a whimsical delight, the antidote to the general horror in the news. I also get to hear one of my favourite words "Homunculi" multiples times.

If you've seen The Detectorists then you'll know what pace this is (it's also from Mackenzie Crook)

Television rec of the week
(or maybe of longer than the week, depending on long it takes me to find another show to recommend):

'Small Prophets' by Mackenzie Crook.

Currently available on BBC iPlayer.
Quiet, low-key sharply observed humans, not making other people's lives, or their own, easier.
Possibly magical realism? Not entirely sure which genre it sits in.

A quick reminder that, before The Detectorists and Wurzel Gummidge, #MackenzieCrook had imagined prototypes for #SmallProphets in a 2011 children's story called 'The Windvale Sprites'.

#SmallProphets is the most joyful thing on TV since #Detectorists. Such warmth, humanity & acceptance as well as quirks & whimsy.

It's an antidote for a world that's gone completely BONKERS.

(UK viewers - binge the whole series on BBC iPlayer. We've already watched it thru 4 times.)

#MackenzieCrook (writer and director) is a bloody genius.

All six episodes of ‘otherworldly’ hidden gem BBC series now streaming

We're currently re-watching the (practically perfect) BBC TV series #Detectorists for the umpteenth time. Have you seen it?

It prompted me to share with you some details of my #paintings inspired by its gentle genius.
