Not especially a favourite ep of mine but fun to read everyone's thoughts! Did anyone notice that on University Challenge tonight one of the questions which made me look up quickly was "What did Francis Bacon describe as "a kind of wild justice, which the more man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.” The answer was, of course revenge and you can just imagine this being the sort of quote Cowley would know. So the title suddenly makes a lot of sense! A very timely question on UC, that!
