Imagine that

The latest episode of Doctor Who was the first portrayal of mental illness on telly in I-don't-know-how-long that didn't make me want to punch my fist through the computer screen.

Also, I may have cried a bit, though I am in a weepy mood lately regardless of what I'm doing. Still, it was quite good.

Ohdeargod. The latest "Hark, a vagrant." The one about Canadian literature is so true that I wish I could travel back in time, show it to my long-suffering teenage self with her face stuck in compulsory Margaret Laurence, and say, "It's okay dear. One day, this will all be the punchline of a very funny joke."

I have to agree with you on the mental illness portrayal. None of the typical 'tragic creature' bullshit. Vincent was subject to some dark crap, but he was also a person, FFS, who could smile and deal with people and live an actual life.

I got sniffly too, particularly about the sunflowers.
