Football in Prishtina

Before there were any clubs or competition, after the end of the First World War, in 1919 football was played by soldiers, officers and students who studied abroad in the Universities of France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, England, Romania, Hungary etc. and began to return home to Pristina. One of these students, studying in France, brought the first football in Pristina in 1919. The ball was a present from a French doctor. After the arrival of the first ball in Pristina, it was mostly youngsters who kicked it around, unorganized and with no institutional support.
During that time, only friendly matches were played. The city of Pristina was a small town of 16,000 citizens when in 1922, the first "blue" club named Kosova" was founded. The club consisted mainly of Pristina Garrison soldiers and did not participate in official competition due to not being registered. The oldest club of Kosovo was not competing in official levels, but was playing friendly matches with other teams, domestic and from the region.
In 1926,  Bashkimi football club was also founded in Pristina and consisted mainly of craftsmen. With the advantage of strong material consolidation in comparison to KF Kosova, Bashkimi was registered in the Sub league of football in Banovina, Skopje. In 1945, Bashkimi won the championship title in Kosovo, a success which they also repeated a year after.
Following World War II, KF Bashkimi and KF Kosova continued to be active in the football field and they were joined by other clubs, such as Milicioneri, Bratsvo and Radniçki. In 1947, KF Bashkimi and KF Kosova merged into one club by the name of Proleter.
Proleter changed its name to Jedinstvo in the 1948/1949. Jedinstvo  which was strong in both economic and organizational aspect merged with Bratsvo from Pristina and Zheleznicari from Fushe Kosove. The new team named Kosova became leader in state championship by winning in two consecutive seasons during 1951/52 and 1953/54
Since 1960 the club has won 19 championship titles, including the last season of 2012/2013. During this period, KF Prishtina has become the only Kosovar football club to win the Kosovar Superliga and Kosovar Cup trophies in one season (2012/13). Their fan club is called Plisat. Some of the most notable players of this club who found their success in international clubs later on include Debatik Curri, Fadil Vokrri, Armend Dallku, Ardian Kozniku, Kushtrim Shala, Goran Dorovic, Zoran Batrovic.

1922-1926:  Beginnings of FC Prishtina (Futboll Klub Kosova)
Football in Kosovo has been played and developed since 1919, shortly after the end of the First World War. Many demobilized soldiers and officers, as well as students studying at universities in France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, England, Bucharest, Budapest, and elsewhere, began to return to their home countries. Thus, a student of Samerslen College Grenoble (France) brought the first soccer ball to Prishtina in 1919. This gift he had from a doctor where he came from.

After the arrival of the first ball in Prishtina and Kosovo, mainly young people started running after it, but there was no organized way of playing.

Only friendly matches took place at that time. The city of Prishtina was just a town with 16,000 inhabitants when in 1922 the first blue club was formed, called "Kosova".
This was a club that at that time consisted of soldiers of the Prishtina Garrison and did not hold official matches because it was not registered, but in its formation constantly played quality footballers of the Prishtina Garrison army.

Kosovo's oldest club did not compete at official levels, but played friendly matches with other teams, meanwhile formed by the country and Macedonia.
In 1926 in Prishtina was formed the football club "Bashkimi", which gathered mainly craft youth. This club was materially much more consolidated than "Kosova". This team took advantage of the opportunity and registered with the Banovina Skopje Football Sub-League. There is no data on the level of competition.

1945-1970's: First success in Yugoslavian Football for FC Prishtina
After the end of the war the club returned to the Yugoslav league system and played for mostly in the Yugoslav Second League. FC Prishtina won in 1945 and 1946 they won the Kosovo Province Titel and are the first Kosovar to do so but the success did not end there. In  1947 FC Prishtina wrote History for being one of the founder Clubs in the newly formed SFR Yugoslavia Cup in this Season. In their first ever cup match they played against Goce Delcev from Prilep. FC Prishtina won this match with 1-0 and qualify for the next Round. In the second round FC Prishtina had a harder tie against Rabotnicki Skopje from the second League. FC Prishtina didn't give up and won this Match away in Shkup with 1-2 and became the first Albanian club to ever reach the round of 16 in the Yugoslav Cup in their first ever cup season. In the Round of sixteen FC Prishtina had to play away against Partizan Belgrad despite a good performance they lost this match with 2-0 but it was still a success for Prishtina at that time

Fc Prishtina came close to qualify for their first time ever in the Yugoslav First League in the season 1972-73 but they lost the playoffs games against NK Osijek from Croatia and could not Progress in the main division. After losing in the home in Prishtina the leg with 1-2 and away with 0–1 in Osijek.

1981-1989: The Golden Generation

FC Prishtina was now stabilized and a scary team had been created and only its explosion was expected. The 1980/01 season was difficult both for Pristina and for the entire population of Kosovo due to the political situation that had been created. From March (1981), Dimovski will be replaced by another coach, the Hungarian from Vojvodina, Béla Pálfi (March 1981 - July 1983), who has great merit for qualifying the team in the elite and creating a great team.
The team this season was forced to spend almost the entire spring season outside the city (in Kragujevac, Serbia) due to the ban on sports activity in Kosovo and had managed without any problems to rank in the middle of the table.
Prishtina with Palfi, in the 1981/82 season finishes in 8th place. In the 1982/83 season, the white and blue team had finally started to make history and after 60 years of its creation, and after 20 years of struggling in the Second League, a generation, called Golden, was finally created that violated all in front of him, who had extraordinary leaders and an army of fans with an average of 30,000 per match.

There was no stopping the team from the Kosovar capital and not only that, this team had become so big that now a 22 Million Yugoslavia was afraid of him and aroused respect for him.
FC Prishtina after entering the first Federal League has competed for five consecutive seasons in it. In her first year in the elite, she also played in the Central European Cup where she took second place among the four teams.
In the same year, two players from Prishtina, in the same match, make their debut for the then Yugoslav national team, the strikers: Fadil Vokrri and Zoran Batrovic. For Batrovic, this was the only appearance left, while Vokrri had continued to defend the colors of the state that no longer exists. This did honor to Pristina and elevated it among the biggest teams in the country.
Meanwhile, in five years of competitions in the First League, Prishtina was led by well-known Yugoslav football names. Fuad Muzurovic had been the first Pristina coach to lead the team to the highest level of the country, which had the league among the four or five strongest in Europe. Muzurovic, later the coach of Bosnia and Herzegovina, had led the team from July 1983 until the same time in 1984. Then he returned in July 1985 and led the capital from Prishtina to in August 1986.

After Muzurovic, the bench was taken over by the other great strategist of the former Yugoslavia, Vukashin Vishnjevac, who, however, had not been so dear to some key players of the team, as he had withstood the pressure and his adventure in Prishtina had ended. in November 1984.
Then, quite successfully for three months, the team was led by the Albanian coach, Ajet Shosholli. Shosholli until that time had been only the second Albanian coach, after Mensur Bajrami (January '77 - April '77), who had led the team.
Meanwhile, the position in the table had been aggravated and the leaders of the club had been forced to find a famous coach and the solution was with Miroslav Blazevic. The lease that later with the Croatian Representative reaches the third place in "France '98", contributes to the merits of the club remaining in the First League. The lease had only lasted for two months, long enough for him to remain one of the most memorable of that time.
Prishtina continues for another three seasons in the collection of the best and in its ranks gravitate two other well-known strategists of the time, Milovan orioriq (October 1986 - September 1987) and Josip Duvançi (September 1987 - June 1988) with whom eventually Prishtina falls out of the league.
The team had left some of its stars, some had now retired, while the tense political situation and the decline of interest of Kosovo's political and social structures had made Pristina no longer able to stay in the first federal League. With the relegation from the League, Prishtina brings together the next generation of talented people from Kosovo who are first led by another well-known name in former Yugoslav football, Miladin ivivadinovi (July 1988 – March 1989). In the first season since the fall (1988/89) Prishtina played with minus 6 points and again fought and achieved culminating results, but did not manage to climb back into the elite.

After 1991
After Kosovo proclaimed independence from Serbia, FC Prishtina left the Yugoslav football league system and became part of the Independent League of Kosovo, which became the highest football division of Kosovo and would be renamed to the Football Superleague of Kosovo after the Kosovo War in 1999. As the Kosovar club with most successful results in the past and the best infrastructure, FC Prishtina won the first edition of the competition in the 1991–92 season. Afterwards, it won the competition again in the 1995–96 and 1996–97 seasons.

Since 1991, FC Prishtina has been Kosovo champion 11 times, making it the most successful Kosovar club since Kosovo left the Yugoslav football league system. Between 1945 and 1991 the Kosovar league was a regional league of the Yugoslav league system, and FC Prishtina did not gather many titles in that league because it usually competed in higher national levels.

Futsal

title: Newmill (horse)

text:
Newmill (foaled 17 April 1998) is a retired, Irish Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in National Hunt racing. He reached his peak as an eight-year-old in the spring of 2006 when he won two of the season's most important two mile steeplechases: the Queen Mother Champion Chase in England and the Kerrygold Champion Chase in Ireland. In his early career he showed promise as a novice hurdler winning the Royal Bond Novice Hurdle, Barry & Sandra Kelly Novice Hurdle and Johnstown Novice Hurdle. When switched to chasing he won the Paddy Fitpatrick Memorial Novice Chase and Kinloch Brae Chase before recording his most important victories. His later career was less successful although he did win the Red Mills Trial Hurdle in the autumn of 2006 and the Kinloch Brae Chase for a second time as a twelve-year-old in 2010.

Background
Newmill was a dark brown horse with a small white star, bred in Ireland by Veronica O'Farrell. He was the best horse sired by Norwich, a horse who showed his best racing form over seven furlongs (winning the Hungerford Stakes), but who had his greatest stud success as a sire of National Hunt performers. His dam, Lady Kas, won one hurdle race and was a daughter of Lady Dikler, a sister of the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner The Dikler.

In June 2001, the three-year-old gelding was consigned by the Bishopstown Stud to the Tattersalls Ireland sale but attracted no bids and was led out of the auction ring unsold. A year later, he was sent back to the sales at Goffs where he was sold for €24,000 to Mary Hayes. Newmill was sent into training with Thomas Gerard O'Leary at Clonakilty, County Cork.

Racing career

2003/2004 National Hunt season: National Hunt Flat races and Novice Hurdles
Newmill began his racing career in National Hunt Flat races, also known as "bumpers", beginning at Fairyhouse Racecourse on 22 April in a race confined to horses sold at Goffs. He started at odds of 10/1 and won easily by three and a half lengths from seventeen opponents. The prize included a new Land Rover Discovery for the vendor of the winner, with the keys to the vehicle being presented to Veronica O'Farrell after the race.

The gelding returned in autumn and ran poorly in a bumper at Tipperary Racecourse before being switched to compete in novice hurdle races. At Wexford Racecourse on 25 October he was ridden by Barry Geraghty he made a successful debut over obstacles a he won easily by seven lengths from Definite Best. The gelding was moved up in class for a Grade III race at Navan Racecourse and finished second to Accordion Etoile and was then stepped up again for the Grade I Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairhouse on 30 November. Ridden by Garrett Cotter he started at odds of 13/2 in a field which included Accordion Etoile and the Jessica Harrington-trained favourite Strike Back. He led from the start, opened up a big lead, and held on in the closing stages to win by three quarters of a length from the mare Mariah Rollins. Two weeks later at Navan, Newmill was moved up in distance for the Grade II Barry & Sandra Kelly Novice Hurdle (now the Grade I Navan Novice Hurdle over two and a half miles. Ridden by Geraghty, and starting the  5/2 second favourite, he took the lead approaching the second last hurdle before drawing away to win by eight lengths from Kildare, to whom he was conceding seven pounds. On his final appearance of 2003, Newmill finished second when attempting to concede thirteen pounds to Mariah Rollins in the Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown Racecourse on 27 December.

Newmill and Mariah Rollins met for the third time in the Deloitte Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown on 8 February. He led the field at the second last hurdle but was caught 100 yards from the finish and beaten three quarters of a length by Brave Inca, with Mariah Rollins five lengths back in third. Two weeks later, Newmill started 1/2 favourite for the Grade II Johnstown Novice Hurdle at Naas and won by four and a half lengths.

2004/2005 National Hunt season: Novice Chases
In the following season, Newmill was moved up to compete in steeplechases with mixed results. He finished fifth behind the mare Like-A-Butterfly at Naas on 20 November and then started 4/6 favourite for a minor event at Clonmel Racecourse, in which he led from the start and won by thirteen lengths. On 26 December he was moved back up to Grade I level for the Durkan New Homes Novice Chase over two miles and a furlong at Leopardstown, but after opening up a clear lead, he faded over the last two fences and finished fifth, thirty-five lengths behind the winner Mariah Rollins. On 9 January he was back at Leopardtsown for the Grade II Paddy Fitzpatrick Memorial Novice Chase and recorded his most important win of the season as he took the lead at the second last fence and won by two lengths from Strong Project. The gelding showed little worthwhile form in his three remaining races: he was pulled up before the last in the Grade I Dr P. J. Moriarty Novice Chase on 6 February and was well beaten when unplaced in both the Nas Na Riogh Novice Chase at Naas and the Grade I Swordlestown Cup Novice Chase at Punchestown in April. Before the last of these race he was transferred to the stable of John Joseph Murphy at Upton, County Cork: his owners' refused to comment on the reason for the switch.

2005/2006 National Hunt season
Newmill returned to hurdling in the early part of the 2005/2006 season. He started a 50/1 outsider when finishing fourth behind Brave Inca in the Morgiana Hurdle and then ran third at odds of 40/1 behind Brave Inca and Harchibald (ahead of Macs Joy) in the December Festival Hurdle. In both of these races he was ridden by Andrew McNamara.

On 9 January, Newmill started at odds of 5/1 for the Kinloch Brae Chase over two and a half miles at Thurles Racecourse, in which his opponents included Strong Project, Hi Cloy and Native Upmanship. Ridden by Robbie Power he was restrained in the early stages before moving up in to third place with six fences left to jump. He took the lead at the second last and stayed on to win by four lengths from Mossy Green. Murphy, who had been considering a run in the Champion Hurdle, announced that the gelding was now more likely to run in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, commenting and commented "people have said he is soft in the past, he is actually as tough as nails". Newmill was sent to race in Britain for the first time when he contested the Grade I Queen Mother Champion Chase over two miles at the Cheltenham Festival and started a 16/1 outsider in a field which included Kauto Star and Moscow Flyer. He had been available at odds of 33/1 on the morning of the race but attracted support after he was identified by the Racing Posts "Pricewise" column as a serious contender and "a horse of the highest class". Ridden by McNamara, he made a slight mistake at the first fence but soon took the lead. He went clear of the field approaching the final fence and stayed on strongly in the closing stages to win by nine lengths from Fota Island in a time of 3:51.50. Jim McGrath, writing in the Daily Telegraph described the performance as "a revelation". After the race, McNamara said "That was amazing, I can't believe how well he travelled all the way. I thought we could be in trouble but he got his breath back and down the hill he really started to travel with me again", while Murphy commented "Thank goodness it's over. Everything went right. I got a bit frightened when I saw Central House appear as I thought he might take him on and buzz him up but Andrew did everything correct and was top drawer". Some commentators, however, felt that the falls of several leading contenders, including Kauto Star, meant that Newmill was a rather lucky winner.

On 25 April, Newmill started the 5/4 favourite for the Grade I Kerrygold Champion Chase at the Punchestown Festival. He led from the start, and despite several jumping errors he was never seriously challenged, winning easily by fifteen lengths from Fota Island, with Mariah Rollins finishing fifth of the six runners. Immediately after the race Murphy suggested that the gelding might be moved up in distance in the next season saying; "We'll play it by ear but we may step him up in trip next season and he could well go to the King George".

2006/2007 National Hunt season
Newmill again began his season in a hurdle race, but after leading for most of the way in the Morgiana Hurdle, he dropped back quickly from the second last to finish tailed-off last of the four runners. Murphy attributed his poor run to "a combination of testing ground and lack of fitness". He returned to steeplechasing at Punchestown in February, but fell four fences from the finish in the Tied Cottage Chase. Two weeks later at Gowran Park he was matched against the leading hurdlers Macs Joy and Harchibald in the Grade II Red Mills Trial Hurdle. Starting at odds of 7/1, he took the lead from the start and went clear of the opposition approaching the last flight to win "comfortably" by eight lengths from Macs Joy. A day after the race, Murphy reported that the gelding was in "sparkling form" and said "he's definitely a better horse this year and they just couldn't stay with him at that relentless gallop".

At Cheltenham in March, Newmill started the 4/1 second favourite as he attempted to repeat his 2006 success in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. He disputed the lead with Ashley Brook for much of the race but weakened after the second last fence and finished fourth, nine lengths behind the winner Voy Por Ustedes. The gelding started 13/8 favourite for the Kerrygold Champion Chase on 24 April but again faded in the closing stages to finish fifth of the even runners.

Later career
Newmill remained in training for a further four seasons, but failed to recapture his previous success. In the 2007/2008 National Hunt season he failed to win in seven races. He earned some prize money when last of three in the Normans Grove Chase at Gowran, and when finishing a distant fourth to Voy Por Ustedes in the Melling Chase. In his attempt to regain his Champion Chase title at Cheltenham he started a 40/1 outsider and finished more than forty lengths behind the winner Master Minded.

In the following season he failed to reach the first three in six attempts. His best efforts came at Cheltenham, when, as a 100/1 outsider, he finished fourth behind Master Minded, Well Chief and Petit Robin in the Champion Chase and at Killarney Racecourse in May where he was beaten a neck by Snowy Morning.

Newmill ran only three times in the 2009/2010 National Hunt season, but showed some good form. In October he was beaten three quarters of a lengths when carrying top weight of 161 pounds in a handicap chase at Cork and in the Connaught Chase at Cheltenham a month later he was only five lengths behind the winner when fourth to Well Chief, Mahogany Blaze and Master Minded. In January at Thurles, Newmill started 11/2 third favourite for the Kinloch Brae Chase, a race he had won four years earlier. Ridden by Eddie Power, he was restrained in the early stages before moving up to take the lead at the eighth fence. He stayed on strongly under pressure in the closing stages to record his first steeplechase win in four years, beating Snowy Morning by three lengths. After the race, Murphy said "Eddie gave him a super ride, making the gallop when no-one else would. Age is against him for the top races now, so we'll have to see where he goes". He missed the remainder of the season after sustaining an injury shortly before the Cheltenham Festival.

For his final competitive season, Newmill was moved to the stable of James Daniel Dullea at Bandon. He ran five times as a thirteen-year-old in the early part of 2011, producing his best effort on his seasonal debut in January, when he ran the former Champion Hurdler Sublimity to half a length in a hurdle race at Cork. After three further defeats he ended his racing career in a hurdle race at Downpatrick Racecourse in March in which he finished third of the five runners behind Fosters Cross.

Pedigree

Newmill was inbred 4 x 4 to Hethersett, meaning that this stallion appears twice in the fourth generation of his pedigree.

title: Tom & Gerri

text:
"Tom & Gerri" is the third episode of British dark comedy anthology series Inside No. 9. It premiered on BBC2 on 19 February 2014. The episode was based on a play that Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith had written while living together prior to the development of their series The League of Gentlemen. While the play had originally been around two hours in length, the episode was only half an hour. "Tom & Gerri" follows a difficult period in the life of Tom (Shearsmith), a primary school teacher and aspiring writer, and his girlfriend Gerri (Gemma Arterton), a struggling actress, after Tom invites the homeless Migg (Pemberton) into his home. Conleth Hill stars as Stevie, a man worried about the mental health of his friend Tom. The entire episode takes place inside Tom's flat.

Reviewers generally agreed that "Tom & Gerri" was significantly darker but less funny than previous episodes of Inside No. 9. Nonetheless, the response to the episode as a whole was very positive. Critics disagreed about the presentation of Tom's mental illness in the episode, with one journalist suggesting that the episode's ending "set back public awareness of mental health at least half an hour", but another saying that the story presented "a fine – if cartoonish – take on mental illness".

Production

Writers Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, who had previously worked together on The League of Gentlemen and Psychoville, took inspiration for Inside No. 9 from "David and Maureen", episode 4 of the first series of Psychoville. This episode, in turn, was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Rope. "David and Maureen" took place entirely in a single room, and was filmed in only two shots. At the same time, the concept of Inside No. 9 was a "reaction" to Psychoville, with Shearsmith saying that "We'd been so involved with labyrinthine over-arcing, we thought it would be nice to do six different stories with a complete new house of people each week. That's appealing, because as a viewer you might not like this story, but you've got a different one next week." As an anthology series with horror themes, Inside No. 9 also pays homage to Tales of the Unexpected, The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

The "loose story" of "Tom and Gerri" was written originally as a two-hour play while Shearsmith and Pemberton were on the dole and sharing a flat, prior to the production of League of Gentlemen. The story was inspired by their experiences in this environment. The character of Tom has his "life energy" drained in the same way that, the writers suggest, is experienced by jobhunters. The "sinister" atmosphere of the episode is meant to evoke the feeling that a person has when they "can't quite manage to leave the flat" and they "can't be bothered to tidy up". "Tom & Gerri" ended up "quite different" from the play, which featured a character much like Pauline from The League of Gentlemen. Pemberton described the feel of the episode as Pinteresque, comparing it to Harold Pinter's A Slight Ache. This sentiment was echoed by critic Gareth Lightfoot, writing in Teesside's Evening Gazette.

As the format of Inside No. 9 requires new characters each week, the writers were able to attract actors who may have been unwilling to commit to an entire series. In addition to the writers, "Tom & Gerri" starred Gemma Arterton and Conleth Hill. The flat in which the episode was filmed, with its boardgames and "misery", was, for Shearsmith, similar to the flat once shared by the writers. The episode was filmed in winter, and Pemberton described a "grim" atmosphere during filming. He also said that he hated the wig and beard he wore to play Migg, which irritated his skin. David Chater, writing in The Times, said that the hair meant Migg "has an eerie resemblance to the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz - only not nearly as benign".

Considering the title of "Tom & Gerri", critic Bruce Dessau suggested that it was likely not a reference to the Tom and Jerry of 1970s sitcom The Good Life, as the life of Tom and Gerri is "anything but good". Instead, he suggested, the reference was more likely to cartoon characters Tom and Jerry, saying that there "is definitely a hint of cat and mouse" in the plot. Metro critics Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and Carol Carter concurred, saying that the plot consisted of "a game of cat and mouse".

Plot

The episode begins with Tom (Shearsmith), a primary school teacher, apathetically marking work while chatting to his girlfriend Gerri (Arterton), who is going to audition for a part in a play. Tom complains about a tramp begging outside their house. Later in the evening, Tom is home alone and the tramp, Migg (Pemberton), knocks at his door to return Tom's wallet. He introduces himself, and Tom rewards him with £40 from his wallet. Migg comes back later with a bottle of whiskey for Tom. Reluctantly, Tom invites Migg inside for a drink. Migg says he knew Charles Bukowski, whose literary work Tom idolises, and Tom warms to Migg as they drink.

Tom awakes the next morning on his sofa. Gerri is alarmed to see him there, as he should be at work, and then gets angry that Migg was invited in. Migg emerges from the bathroom as Gerri leaves the house, and encourages Tom to phone in sick. It is revealed that Tom had promised Migg some of his clothes, and Migg makes breakfast. Later, Migg and Tom play Risk and drink wine. Tom is concerned that Gerri has not called. When Tom heads out to buy cigarettes and wine, Migg hides Tom's mobile phone and deletes an answerphone message left by Tom's colleague Stevie (Hill).

A week later, Tom lies in bed, smoking and writing. Gerri enters the room, and it is revealed that Tom has quit his job as a teacher. She has been rehearsing in Portsmouth and says she left him dozens of messages, but Tom thinks he's lost his phone. The pair fight over Migg, who is still living with Tom. Later still, the flat is a mess, and Tom is unkempt and drinking heavily. He has no messages on his phone and no post. He sits down to play Scrabble with Migg, and it is revealed that it is Tom's birthday. The two argue about washing up, and Migg says that Tom has "no right" to judge him. Tom storms out of the room, and Migg flicks through birthday cards he has hidden from Tom, saying "Thank you, Grandma!" and taking the £10 that Tom's grandmother sent him. The house and Tom have deteriorated further when Stevie comes to visit. He has brought Tom vouchers for The Body Shop. Stevie invites Tom out for dinner, but he declines. Stevie leaves, and Tom settles down with Migg on the sofa.

Tom's electricity supply is cut off due to the bills not being paid, and he weeps. A shaven Migg, wearing clean clothes, enters the house. He has started a job, working with children, and gives Tom £40 because Tom has "done so much" for Migg. Migg wants to take over the tenancy on the flat until Tom's benefits come in. He walks into the bathroom to get into the bath as Gerri walks in and comforts Tom, who asks her not to leave. Gerri tells Tom that he has invented Migg to cope with what has been happening. She says Tom is depressed and has had a nervous breakdown. The pair head into the bathroom, but there is no Migg. Gerri tells Tom to "get this Migg out of [his] head once and for all". She leaves, and Migg emerges from a hiding place; he asks if everything is alright.

Things apparently get better: the flat is tidy, Tom is smartly dressed and clean-shaven. Gerri is happily chatting to him. Tom answers the door to Stevie, who asks Tom to come back to work. He is alarmed to see Tom call Gerri; Stevie says that Gerri was killed in a car accident, and that Tom went back to work too soon. Stevie heads to the bathroom to get Tom's medication, but freezes when he sees the corpse of Migg in the bath. Tom tells him not to worry, and that Migg is not real. He invites Stevie to stay for coffee, saying Gerri is just boiling the kettle.

Reception

Reviewers generally agreed that the episode was darker than previous episodes, but not as funny. However, Will Dean, writing in The Independent, said that his observation that the episode "wasn't really in the slightest bit funny" was "no complaint". The critical response to "Tom & Gerri" was overwhelmingly positive; Dean was "moved by its sad brilliance", while Gerald Gilbert, also writing in The Independent, called it "another finely worked playlet". Bruce Dessau said viewers would be "totally immersed from start to finish".

Critics disagreed on how "Tom & Gerri" compared to previous episodes of Inside No. 9. Writing in The Guardian, Mark Jones said that "Tom & Gerri" was the "highlight of the series so far, with Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton on top form". Pat Stacey, of the Evening Herald, agreed, though considered the previous episodes weak. By contrast, an anonymous reviewer in the Liverpool Echo thought "Sardines" was stronger, but said "Tom & Gerri" was "definitely the creepiest" of the first three, and Chater also disagreed with Jones and Stacey; while he praised the episode as "a sinister tale about the fragile nature of sanity performed by actors who are frighteningly good", he felt that it was not as strong as earlier installments. Like Chater, Dessau stressed the quality of the acting, praising the performances of both Shearsmith and Pemberton, especially the latter.

There was further disagreement on the episode's approach to mental illness. Andrew Billen, writing in The Times, said he initially thought Mind may be able to use "Tom & Gerri" as a teaching aid, but he said that the ending "set back public awareness of mental health at least half an hour". By contrast, Dean considered the character of Tom to be "a fine – if cartoonish – take on mental illness". Several themes present in "Tom & Gerri", including mental illness, were revisited in Inside No. 9 third series with "Diddle Diddle Dumpling".

Billen called the episode "distressing comedy to watch", but said that "the acting, the scripting, the satisfactions of one-act resolution and the laughter it generated" were redeeming qualities, and gave the episode four out of a possible five stars. Dessau felt that parts of the script were predictable, but some twists "catch you completely unaware", while the ending "may haunt [viewers] for days". Jack Seale, of the Radio Times, suggested that viewers will believe that they have guessed the plot by the half-way point in the episode. However, he said that the writers "give their story of how we're all one slip away from the gutter a chilling sense of rising dread" which counteracts this. "Nobody", he said, "plays wicked games with the audience more skilfully." Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and Carol Carter, writing in Metro, suggested that viewers would want to rewatch the episode in an attempt to pick up clues to the plot twists that they originally missed.

title: Euselasia

text:
Euselasia is a genus of butterflies in the family Riodinidae. They are present only in the Neotropical realm. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819.

Description
The wing veins are inconstant. Some species have two, others three, and one species (E. aurantiaca) even four subcostal branches. The genus is recognizable by the anterior radial vein either running directly in the elongation of the subcostal, or being connected with it by a very short anterior discocellular.

The butterflies often have the appearance of small satyrids or Thecla species; as for instance Euselasia eutychus resembles (particularly beneath) exactly Euptychia helle flying in the same locality, or Thecla themathea; or Euselasia clithra resembles Euptychia chloris and so on. On the upper surface there is often a very bright reflection of a shining power otherwise not found in any lepidopteran and of a truly wonderful iridescence.

The larvae are somewhat of the shape of a woodlouse, very brightly coloured, behind the head there are two points. The pupae are covered with fine, fluffy hairs like the larvae, green, held by a belt. The imagines are partly extraordinarily rare and belong to the few Riodinidae that fly to a considerable height. They also clap their wings together when at rest like other day butterflies, unlike most of the other Riodinidae which spread them out like the Geometridae.

Taxonomy
This is one of the largest genera in the family Riodinidae. As of 2004 there were almost 170 species and more are being described continually. The type species of the genus is Euselasia gelon (Stoll, [1787]).

History
The name Blanchview is a manufactured name, derived from the name of land owner Ernest Blanchard. 5 km South of Withcott, it was previously known as Monkey Waterholes (also written as Monkey Water Holes). However, his son, John "Colin" Blanchard, told of a Toowoomba town councillor in early 1900s suggesting the name Blanchview when visiting the Blanchard farm house that was between the school and the church, both on land donated by Ernest Blanchard.

Monkey Waterholes Provisional School opened on 7 July 1890. It became Monkey Waterholes State School in 1909 and was renamed Blanch View State School in 1913.  Blanchview State School closed in 1965. The school was on a  reserve within present-day 358 Blanchview Road. The site is marked by a plaque (). The school building was relocated to another site and is used as a farm building.

Monkey Waterholes Methodist Church opened on the weekend of 2-3 December 1899, although Primitive Methodist services had been held in the district (probably in private homes) since at least 1895.  The church was at 327 Blanchview Road (corner Church Road, ). Services were advertised at the church until 1933. Later it passed into private ownership and was converted into a residence.

In the , Blanchview had a population of 229 people.
