			<description><![CDATA[Thought some people might be interested in this. <br />
<br />
BBC Radio 4 are airing a dramatisation of the real life events leading up to the Iraq War, starring Peter Firth as Richard Dearlove, head of MI6. <br />
<br />
The 1 hour radio play will air on Saturday the 2nd of March 2013. It will be available on BBC iPlayer for seven days thereafter and you can listen to it anywhere in the world, no regional restrictions.<br />
<br />
Here's the link:<br />
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qzk13" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qzk13</a><br />
<br />
This is the summary:<br />
The dossier "Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction", lead to the headline "just 45 minutes from attack", persuaded MPs to vote for an invasion of Iraq, and hardened public opinion against Saddam Hussein. Fall out from accusations by the BBC that the claims had been "sexed up" led to the death of Dr David Kelly and the Hutton Inquiry.<br />
<br />
This drama goes behind the scenes of MI6, the Ministry of Defence and Downing Street to dramatise one of the most controversial episodes in British politics.<br />
<br />
The author, David Morley, has created the script from the mountain of emails, memos, and first hand testimony submitted to the various inquiries into the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as well as from first-hand interviews with Dr Brian Jones, who died in 2012 and was the MoD's leading expert on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, concerned that exaggeration should not creep into the dossier.<br />
<br />
Other key players include Richard Dearlove, head of MI6; John Scarlett, Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee and Tony Blair's adviser, Alastair Campbell.]]></description>

<br />
Just saying hello! I wondered if there's still some action here a year after THE END and it seems there is! Great! I've been quitely obsessed by Spooks a couple of years now and still haven't found a show that's equally good. (Not been looking very hard though). Sweden's got a bit of a crush on British tv so we get a lot of series and mini-series here, so yes, I'm happy about that <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> <br />
Looking forward to future discussions!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Silk series 2 is starting on the BBC in a few weeks; it's a programme about barristers in chambers in London. The main characters are played by Maxine Peake and Rupert Penry Jones. I really liked the first series, the plot is very dramatic and follows a 'story of the week' format with and underlying plot running throughout. It's definetly a good watch for any RPJ fans. <br />
<br />
The first episode of the new series will be shown on tuesday the 8th of may at 9pm on BBC one in the uk.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Just finished series 3 on BBC America last night. I have to say, I am fan of this programme. I really dig the combination of horror and suspense genres. It's pretty gruesome, but it's really well done. It can scare me enough to think twice about going into my basement alone at night! <img src="images/smilies/wink.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> After the first two series (the copycat series) I did wonder how it was going to perpetuate itself, but I liked the change in format for series 3 to using history as a blueprint. <br />
<br />
The cast is great. Our Spooks connection in RPJ is really good in this different role for him. He doesn't overplay Chandler's OCD. Love Phil Davis as DC Miles. It's a gift of a role.

The overall character development is very well handled - it's present but not distracting from the plot and, most of the time, is tied to the plot. <br />

It's pretty gruesome, but it's really well done. It can scare me enough to think twice about going into my basement alone at night! <img src="images/smilies/wink.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> After the first two series (the copycat series) I did wonder how it was going to perpetuate itself, but I liked the change in format for series 3 to using history as a blueprint. <br />
