Life After People?

it might be, but there seems loads of episodes of that and I think this was a one-off. Or maybe it was condensed into one ep.

yeah I just checked + that was the one broadcast on ch4 at the time, it wasn't a one-off so perhaps one episode was enough.. lol

I think I saw the first episode and thought "So without humans around, everything falls into shit? Yay, we're awesome!!!" and then didn't watch any more episodes.

speaking of such matters, in the SF podcast ep that tracer and i did with ilxor 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek) a long age ago -- abt arthur c.clark's short story "the forgotten enemy" -- there is a line something like "on london's horizon something glittered in the mountains to the north", which reminds us that london's tall yet overlooked enemy has always in fact been primrose hill

three months pass...

less than 2 months until we're being kicked out by our landlord as he's selling. have put absurd amounts of energy into trying to find somewhere. no closer. if we haven't secured anything after the 3 viewings we have tomorrow it's close to panic stations. london rental market is unbelievably fucked and we're a childless dual-income couple in our 30s so it's yet more fucked for others. inching ever closer to team guillotine here lads

i thought this was meant to ease, not least because of all the people leaving because of brexit, followed by all the people leaving because they are now remote workers.
