Thunderstorm advice
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD
Allow me to correct some serious misconceptions about thunderstorms.
I refer to episode 3 of series 1 of The Cleaner - along with countless films and TV series over the years...
Thunderstorms DO NOT announce their arrival with one peel, and then subsequently without fail deliver rain. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN.
Secondly, when there is visible lightning it HARDLY EVER occurs at the same time as the audible thunder. This could ONLY HAPPEN if there is a direct (or significantly nearby) strike - whichonly comprises at most about 3% of all lightning strikes in a mature storm system.
I REALLY REALLY hope it's possible directors can learn from this information as bad thunderstorm scenes completely ruin shows for me - and there are SO MANY.
I wrote this while episode 3 played in the background - which showed how bothered I was to concentrate.
Regarding the series as a whole - it was okay but a little pointless, somewhat meandering and not very funny. If they had gone the way of something like the Detectorists it would have been good, but it just felt like a waste of time.
I definitely didn't risk laugh cramps on this one.
