Paul watches Seeing Things Season Two Episode 4 “Through the Looking Glass,” and between the “That Day of Note” segment and the episode itself there is a very Soviet theme. Included is a look at an actor who played a fictional curler later on, and something upside-down and Brutal. Then he moves to the other side of the decade and the other side of the Atlantic for Press Gang Series One Episode 7 “How to Make a Killing, Part 1,” looking at an up-and-coming actress, and a piece of tech in a bit of a holdover from last episode.
