[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 439173, member: 23"] I get that completely, and I applaud your restraint. There's a lot to be said for both anticipation and resonance. Generally I'll attempt to pace myself and while I I can sometimes end up watching two or three thirty minute episodes in one evening (depending on the series) I couldn't sit down and watch an entire box set. I'm stricter still with drama series and always try to take a break between seasons. (And yes, I know I flew through the first few phases of the MCU like nobody's business, but that was because I knew I was on the clock with a six month Disney+ trial). There's a nice piece of timing at the beginning of that scene which really sells it. Just as Basil says "Colonel and Mrs Hall, may I introduce Mr and Mrs Tw...", Colonel Hall twitches, causing Basil to freeze in horror at the prospect of finishing his sentence. This really is high praise. Oh no - I'd draw the line at a salad cream sandwich. He did ask for bread and salad cream, but as an accompaniment to his meal. We know he had chips (French fries) and he also mentioned egg, which I'd assume to be fried if it was with chips. To my mind, salad cream would still be a bit of an odd choice to go with that combination. Ketchup would seem more fitting, especially to a kid. Still, I could see both his parents had green salad on their plates, so perhaps he also had some hiding out of frame, which he wanted to improve with a bit of salad cream. [/QUOTE]
