It is a British MI5 show and really up to date with what could be going on in the espionage world and attempted terrorist attacks. It can be frightenly realistic.

The frictional relationship with the CIA adds to it even more.

Great show, always has me at the edge of my seat.

Waterloo Road! That series is crazy! It is so seems to be non stop funny situations it is a bit far fetched but well entertaining. In this series there isn't just a head teacher (I thought in the real world they were supposed to be the boss of the schools!) but an executive head above her who my brother fondily has nicknamed ' Robo Chump!' he reminds me of a robot this executive head he would have made a good teacher in the Sci-fi Horror classic 'Class of 1999' from the early 90s. His behaviour is unusal to say the least! He had one pupil dressed up as a litter picker picking trash around the school grounds as a punishment and another scrubbing to steps of the school. Then there is Grantley he is hilarious he is as miserable as anything so nosey and always moaning about the rules and other peoples' affairs. :guitarist

Season 2 seems to have improved what they're doing. Hugely. The script's a lot tighter too. They really have got their production technique to be a lot less intrusive, I'm impressed.

At last a teenager on 'The worlds stricest parents' a reality show on BBC 3 who has failed and gone home early. Up until now all the teenagers had done was just kicked off and then near the end of there stay decided to grow up and get with the program. These parents may be strict but i do believe they have all got good values and although they may seem oppressive at least they bring up their children very well and they will become good people when they grow up. All these teenagers need to do is stop pretending they are at home and have some respect for them they only have to change for a week then they can go back to being scrotes at home if they wish so! Well last night a lass from Manchester was staying with a family from Oklahoma who she just constantly rebelled against. Her attitude was ' I hate the police and they hate me'. Both the parents where in the Police force and yes they may have been strict but they seemed like good people. The fact that they had fostered so many children as they couldn't have anymore is remarkable and the idea to get them doing chores is a good when they are right life can be a struggle so it is best to get used to it rather than be spoilt rotten and walk over people and see where that gets you to. This British generation have never had it so easy. There was a time when children finished school at a young age and started work as soon as possible with no choice in the matter they had to to help support their family. It may have been wrong but they didn't know any better and however wrong at least it didn't turn out the likes of some of the youths of today who have no respect for others or themselves!

I'm a little tame I guess:

Survivor

Turner Classic Movies

the latest DVDs

That's about it. The rest of the time I play videogames.

Right now I'm playing:

Fallout 3

Oblivion

The Bourne conspiracy

Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock
