Construction work Holyrood Road/Old Kirk

Anyone knows what the construction work around Old Kirk on Holyrood Road for the last three days is about? I live just next to it and the noise has been terrible, making it very difficult to study and hold online meetings during this exam season. While I will just go elsewhere from now on, it's frustrating to pay so much rent to not be able to study in my room... But that's the reality of living in any city. I am curious to know if anyone knows how long it will last and what they are doing, as it is an interesting process to watch nonetheless.

What's with Forensic Files II and psychics?

I've been watching the original FF series and have been getting into new episodes lately. At first, I thought it was a coincidence that every episode of FF II I watched heavily focused on the intervention of a psychic. But tonight I'm on my 6th or 7th episode where a psychic is the star of the show - it's repetitive, and is not even subtle. I see other people commenting on that here and there, but I wondered if we have more info on FF II's production? Is there an agenda? The narrative structure, with the psychic getting involved and interviews of police force members commenting that they did not believe at first "but where open to anything at this point", then saying they were pretty much convinced at the end of each episode, is oddly reiterative. Or did I manage to stubble upon a sample that is not at all representative of the whole series?
