TV technology

Last night Maffi and I went over to the Ocelot Picture House to watch Bourne Identity with PJ and Dennis. Dennis very sweetly snored all the way through (but with his eyes open) while the rest of us glued our eyes to the TV and sat back and enjoyed... until.... a little way into the film the TV went blank. It would appear the good ship Ocelot was having an electrical crisis... not to worry. Within in no time at all PJ had retreived a spare battery from the cellar, wired up the TV to it, and balanced the precarious connections on the back of Dennis' basket. I did wonder whether Dennis might move and cause a short circuit, but he didn't.
