Amazing things - next day (a lot later)

One thing that living with someone changes is your viewing habits. Some are terrible (I leave the room during Jeremy Kyle) and somethings that you suspect to be a bit rubbish are not so bad. Holby City is a guilty pleasure and especially the interactions that centre on the character of Jac Naylor played acerbically by Rosie Marcel. The script-writer seems to take a centre pleasure in crafting particular tasty lines with which to advance the script. However, it is more than just the writing but the absolute utter deadpan disdain with which they are delivered that makes it so good. Here is a link to some of the funnier moments

Some good examples are below.

JOSEPH BYRNE 
Are you crying?

JAC NAYLOR 
[unconvincingly] No.

JOSEPH BYRNE 
Yes you are.

JAC NAYLOR 
Why d'you always want to see me cry?

JOSEPH BYRNE 
To see how far robotics has progressed.



KEVIN MATHERS 
Will it annoy you if I pray for you?

JAC NAYLOR 
Yep!

KEVIN MATHERS 
I might do it anyway, then.

JAC NAYLOR 
I'll do some extra sinning to cancel it out.


MICHAEL SPENCE 
I did not know you were into food, Miss Naylor.

JAC NAYLOR 
You assumed I ran on batteries?



JOSEPH BYRNE 
You're taking Mr Frisby up to theatre?

JAC NAYLOR 
No, we're going for a Chinese and then we're off clubbing.
