‘In lockdown,’ Alan Birchenall says via WhatsApp. ‘So any time around mid-afternoon would be fine to call. Birchy.’

It’s all very 2020: arranging content for content’s sake during the lockdown through WhatsApp. All we need for the perfect archetype is live tweets for a decade-old match and a Houseparty call to joint-watch Tiger King.
