Tonight on Channel 4, as part of a series, Black Mirror, there is a play by Charlie Brooker called 'Be Right Back' which follows what happens after the death of Ash , the boyfriend of Martha. Sunday Times Culture magazine says of the play: Told at the funeral about software that will alow a simulated Ash to reply to her emails and phone calls, Martha tries it out and becomes addicted.
By the time you read this the transmission of the play will probably be in the past - and I haven't seen it yet (I'm writing this at 6.52 pm). However it does strike me that a post of mine of 5 March 2011 will probably have a certain resonance for anyone who sees or saw the TV play.
My post is called LAST LETTER TO LORNA and if you have 5 minutes and 5 seconds to spare then you can see it now. Click on to

Welcome
This is a collection of written pieces that comes from things I’ve thought and experienced; occasionally they are illustrated with photos that I’ve taken. They are here because I want people to enjoy them. This is a sort of print performance and as with other kinds of performance it is a meaningless exercise without an audience. So be my audience ...
