I think Sarah Millican is wonderful; the comment about a wrap-around duvet said it all as her episode of series 10 played last night.
Sarah's episode followed parts of her family that, to be honest, did some pretty obscure things for a living. One ancestor was one of the first deep-divers - as in, in the sea. And of course, as had to be done, Sarah got dressed up in the gear - old style diving helmet and everything (I personally find diving helmets a little creepy - probably a combination of too much Scooby-doo and Lemony Snicket when I was younger.) It was important to Sarah however that her ancestor not be in salvage purely for the money - and his decision, recorded in a newspaper, to give up his percentage value of a wreck to children who had been left orphaned by it clearly touched a nerve.
The other main focus of her episode dealt with a labourer in the fur trade who travelled from Orkney to Canada, and ended up with an incredible survival story for his trouble.
The main star of this episode was still Sarah herself, who's comments made the whole thing totally enjoyable.
Bye for now!
