I've just caught up with 4 part series 'Secret State' based on a book by Chris Mullins. I thought it was excellent and so upto date with the story line. As Chris Mullins was at the heart of politics it certainly made me think what topics he raised were close to the knuckle.

The acting was good too and I must admit to having a thing for Gabriel Byrne who played the P.M brilliantly. More of this type of entertainment for me please, anyone else agree?

POGS I'm glad there's another Gabriel Byrne fan out there. I missed the series unfortunately but I've been a fan of his ever since he was in an Irish soap that was telly in the 70's or 80's [sigh].

CRIMSON

It started on 7th November and finished on the 28th if I'm not mistaken and if you can access it it I am sure you will find it well worth a try. It is a political story but very clever and certainly makes you think. The pace is quick and the topic is very interesting, well it was to me.

Nice to meet another Gabriel Byrne fan, we obviously have good taste. smile
