50. I don't think I have seen any of Potter's work.

I am surprised because I am a huge fan of all British TV productions.
But in the 80's I was working full time and going to graduate school full time
so I missed a lot of pop culture and TV shows. 90s were also a whirl.

I will put them on my winter watch list.

Thanks.

I don't know how far things have gone.
But we are all quite distressed for a reason.
And we know behind the scenes is worse.
