I wanted to say, too, - I do like these very much. I think Edward makes
beautiful work that fits into a very particular Brit tradition of lo-fi humor
that doesn't exclude a kind of beauty too ( I love the bluebell wood for
example)
Edward is a friend and has been a very good one to me so I hope he won't be
offended if I say I much prefer numbers one and four of this series.
I do find the slightly sexist tone of two and three a little hard to take and
it tarnishes them for me.
I know one does have to be careful with humour and I don't want to be po faced
about it - maybe I am being...
What works big time for me is the exploitation of bathos - the rich, resonant
high flown language coupled with the all too human pettiness of the characters'
behaviour and attitudes has truth and humanity about it & is also laugh out
loud funny....
I look forward to the rest of the series...

Thanks for sharing!
It instantly reminded me of The Brother's Quay short film interpretation of
Gilgamesh -
