Kiefer Sutherland behind bars, in real life

Writing about web page http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7037022.stm

Under a deal with prosecutors, the star will serve the sentence during breaks in filming for his hit TV drama, 24.

Fair enough, but:

Sutherland also received a six-month driving ban, and was ordered to attend alcohol education classes for 18 months and weekly alcohol therapy sessions for six months.

Can you imagine Jack Bauer without the aid of a beast of a car?

28. People go to hospital to become ill.

There’s more where that came from!

Shoot me

I’m appalled by the lack of Spooks entries today. Did absolutely no one watch the first episode(s) of the new series last night?! Shame on you!

Story-wise, it wasn’t that great. A bit over the top and 24-like plot with a stocky PM’s son and typical ugly bad guys opposing the always handsome Spooks. But then it’s quite an eye-opener that a whole series of 24 would fit in two Spooks episodes. Because they’ve got better things to do.

I hope they do get better things to do, for although the first scenario was an interesting and worrying idea, reality did seem to get lost. Ah well. Good to see some of the guys are still alive! Watch it on BBC1, Sunday 9pm.
