The pleasure of connection is at times at odds with our own observation. In a world that is willing to disconnect on the advice of the merest whim, on the perceived slight, to still be able to converse with anyone, even if it just your own reason and soul, is a remarkable act of achievement; for to agree with your own self in a world of madness is an act of rebellion where all around you is insisting you declare that You And I Must Be Out Of My Mind.

Feelings, nothing more than the reaction to what has transpired, the opinion of response to stimuli, the external pressure represented by the Sentiments caressed by life; we must always be mindful of these personal views, the gush of blood that can tip the balance one way or the other less we fall into the trap of mawkishness, of the reaction that is not ours to behold.

In Victory we are either magnanimous to those have beaten, or we allow ourselves to be judged harshly by history as we drown them in a sea of disdain. In any situation, be it a game, in a fight, in war, how we see, and taste triumph is a reflection of our own inadequate nature. Heralding boastful triumph breeds the need to conquer, it damages the nerve of society, and the oppressor is soon adjudged to be on the side of evil, even if was said to have done so with good intentions.

If we tell it like it really is, we are likely to alienate a cross selection of people without really trying; whether it comes in the form of an expressed well-researched opinion, or a generalisation that has been brought on by a wider view, the fine line between acceptable discussion and outright personal attack comes just down to the way and how far we are willing to go, to love the corporate machine.

The chance to reflect upon an offering by an artist years after it was first tentatively produced, after it had its velvet cover removed in a flurry of bright lights, headlines, and hoped for champagne corks popping in delight at the spirit of human conscious standing proudly on the pedestal, is one that arguably must be taken with great sincerity, and with pathos deeply prescribed; for few in time retain the idea of masterpiece, for as opinions change, shift, and alter, so too will the sound be revised, the story behind it taking on a less or more significance.

It is heartening to see a talented young writer who was unafraid of taking the time to pay their dues and take the next logical step in their journey as a dispenser of words and ideas; it is enriching when they reveal what you always suspected, what you hoped and dreamed of them, that they are a connoisseur of the art, knowledgeable, experienced, and willing to place their soul between each word, each deliberated sentenced chewed over, given room to be digested, willing to be stung by their own reaction, and ready to soothe the reader as they fall head first into a narrative weaved from possible suffering.

Adventure is within the soul, it is innate to the species, it is peculiar to the individual, and almost always the first step that leads to a newfound sense of independence being framed and saluted by others along the way; it might stir the soul, it could be one that is drips with anxiety, but in due course it will be remembered as a tender moment between mind and matter.

Cast: Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton, Mark Gatiss, Diane Moran, Patrice Naiambana.
A reunion, of sorts, and one that perhaps many thought might never occur, but it should never have been in doubt that Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton, and Mark Gatiss, the delightful acting team behind The League Of Gentlemen, would one day be seen together in the same scenes, and providing a deeply satisfying look at the darker side of life.

What If?, undoubtedly two of the greatest combined words in the history of language. Where would humanity be without the ability to question alternative history, of being able to conjecture the ways in which Time could be altered, changed, drastically distorted from the moment we understand. If Time and history can be transformed on the single decision taken, so then can we use our imaginations to foresee the outcome of other potential times when our own world’s future can hang in the balance.

Where others may feel the small drops of rain on a spring day, the sensitive feel the lashing of a hurricane in autumn; this is the love and the penance that the complex emotional readers find when they are presented with an overload of sensation, when they are granted access to an innermost desire or sometimes passing thought, the rain is not an inconvenience, it is a flood of reaction that is yours to own completely. There is the rub, to answer in the positive when examined, Yours Aye.
