I've JUST discovered Fake Psychic on Spotify. I found and bought Keene's book thirty years ago at an estate sale. Glad that it's getting the BBC treatment. Five stars!

Binged the Post Office ITV drama #MrBatesVsThePostOffice - outstanding and very emotional. Highly recommend watching this Panorama doc too, if you want to see the real Jo, Noel and all. It's also brilliant. Maddening and moving. From 2022 and on iplayer > #PostOfficeScandal
