Covid Lockdown Episode du Jour

While last week I mentioned my favorite British series based on the Covid lockdown was the fantastic Staged, the single episode Christmas special of Upstart Crow even more perfectly hammers down what the entire world is going through, complete with being outraged/amazed at people refusing to wear masks et al. All while being as funny as ever. 

The plague has hit London and as Christmas approaches Will and Kate are in wave fifteen of state-enforced home confinement together in Will's London lodgings. As Kate fills endless time with baking, painting, hoarding, clapping and DIY haircuts Will is doing his absolute best to use the plaguey lock-in to pen a classic for the new King so his head doesn't end up in a basket. The problem is he's got zero inspiration… Can Will come up with the perfect play? And far from their friends and loved ones will he and Kate find a way to create their own kind of Christmas cheer?

A must-watch, people!
