    This one and the one where he investigates the guy who supposedly sailed around Staten Island are my favourites. I love the way he unpacks the investigative process

    Really didn’t cover that part of Alexander Pope’s life in The DaVinci Code, did they?

    Damn you for making me watch that. All the way to the end and beyond. In one pass. And for becoming better for having watched it.
