24

We never watch TV so have given up paying our TV licence (legally, I might add) and have started renting dvds through the post from Amazon. We get 4 a month for £8 and can have two at a time.

So we’ve started watching season 1 of 24, which I have never seen before. And it’s pretty exciting. Jack Bauer works for the FBI or CIA (or some other American acronym) doing counter-terrorism work. His team are trying to stop a presidential candidate getting killed. There’s a dirty agent but we don’t know who it is. Seems like it could be Tony, who has a funny beard and looks annoyed a lot. So it will probably be anyone except Tony. And Jack, obviously. In fact, it will probably be Walsh, who got shot in episode 3. Al I know is that it will never be who you’re supposed to think it is.

Unless it is, in a double-bluff kind of way.

Heya Sarah :)
You'll love 24! The first season is full of twists and turns. Don't let anyone spoil it for you!!

Yup, blogging about watching it is kind of an open invitation to people to spoil the ending for me, but I hope they don't! I managed to accidentally let Emma, who I share an office with, know who the mystery death was in the new Harry Potter book...

Went to see War of the WOrlds the other night. Very dissapointed. As usual Tom Cruise is good, the film isn't.

But 24, oh 24. 4hr's in, well 3hrs 15mins if you don't include ad breaks and it's very groovy. Can see why there was loads of hype about this and wonder how I missed it all the first time round.

We're actually gaining time by watching it on dvd - time travel has arrived! For each hour of 24 we watch - in real time - we gain an extra 15 minutes!!! I am actually getting younger by watching tv.

Or something.
