Honestly, this is just perfect. The language used is so rich and engaging, the plot is captivating, the execution is flawless, and the reading is a pure delight. It is truly so much fun to listen to. I highly recommend that you do listen. American accents, unfortunately, aren't very conducive to extracting the full essence and charm of this by simply reading.
Now I have gained knowledge about where the phrase "blot on the landscape" originated from. It's quite interesting to know how it became the title of a comedy series starring David Suchet and Penelope Keith way back in the distant past. It's amazing how such a simple phrase can have such a backstory and be associated with a well-known series.
