It looks as though they are getting rid of all the interesting people so that the dreadful Mark will win. I'm sick of him, I find him self serving, totally self interested and cannot bear to hear that horrible voice droning sentimental platitudes. I put the TV on mute when he is holding forth and when he is doing the nightly mauling of Emily I avert my eyes as well. I miss quite a bit of the programme this way but it is worth it.
