You know, you know WAY too much about this show for someone who claims to hate it.

It's unavoidable, that's why. Just like the original Big Brother in Orwell's 1984, who's leering chops stared out at the poor, put-upon masses wherever they turned. You can't get away from it. Well, at least until after tonight, when it'll be over, thank the Lord. But mark my words, if you look at the online versions of any British newspaper tomorrow, the headlines will be about who won the show, and the finale will be dissected minute-by-minute.
Even if someone blows up the Tower of London.

Sure, 24 is silly nonsense, but it's silly nonsense with added tension racked up to a sweaty, non-stop, paranoiac level. The relentless ticking of the clock tends to drown out the more ludicrous elements of the show.

Well, until you watch it the second time round, anyway.

Right you are. Don't have her number at the minute, but I'll ask around.

Lucky for you I got this, I don't get online that much nowadays.

Must buy laptop....
