One thing that's been keeping me awake at nights, is the eternal conundrum - should I give Spooks (yet) another go. Working in an office of chattering TV buffs, everyone claims that Spooks is the greatest programme ever. Yet everytime I tune in, it just seems to be about a group of Oxbridge-educated toffs, walking around talking about things happening but which never happen owing to budget restraints. And it annoys me that, in the grand tradition of Brookside, that the extras never speak.
I've been told next week's BBC1 episode is a corker, so maybe I'll give it a go. But watching the first episode of this latest series a few weeks back made me so angry (furious that everything had to be explained to the underestimated audience, at the fact that only one character was entitled to any development, at the stilted performances and dire dialogue) that I had to go back on the happy pills. And I can't be doing with that again.
