DSU Schenk has had better days.
(No shortage of those in London, it seems.)

Its a family portrait that Leatherface and his inbredTexas Chainsawclan might have aspired to with a bit more sophistication.
Schenk arrives to find Luther shot, cut, and staggering to his feet, struggling for breath.
Everyone whos lived throughLuthers five seasons of spectacular deviance and destruction is tired.

Ah well, toodle pip!
