Credit Where Credit's Due

A few years ago, the Labour Government 'launched an initiative'.
They said that all terrestrial TV in the UK would be digital by 2010.

Obviously it was nothing to do with them, except that they have the legal power to shut off the power to the analogue transmitters to act as protectors of the airwaves.

Anyway, digital is happening, has happened, and I now have forty channels, including four ITV's, four BBC's,an ITV children's, two BBC children's,BBC24 news, Sky News, Sky Sports News and many others.

My favourite channel is ITV3.
Last night it showed Due South at 7pm, and at 9 pm?

Reilly Ace Of Spies.

So many childhood programmes lose something later on, but this is one which actually improves.

For example:last night we were in Moscow in 1917; the Social Revolutionaries are upset with Lenin and want to bring Russia back into the war against Germany.

They keep on trying to provoke Germany.
So.
An alleged agent of the Checka turns up on the doorstep of the German Legation.
He has information regarding an attempt to be made on the life of the German ambassador.

They show him in.
The ambassador says "You have information about an assassination attempt?"
"Yes."
"When is it to occur?"
The agent pulls out a pistol.
"Now!"
Bang!

I've been laughing about it all day.
Brilliant.
From before the age of PC.
