No More Heroes?

OK so I know that during the summer people tend to go out and do things other than watch telly, but some of us don't have social lives and continue to look forward to a night in front of the box.

Recently we have been rivetted by some really entertaining programmes, particularly from my point of view!

Chris Ryan's Strike Back for one. Usually one who picks fault at military type programmes tutting at irregularities such as a Wren driver wearing brown leather gloves when she would only be allowed to wear black (brown are officers issue only!) in James Bond. However, this one was pretty accurate from what we could tell, although neither os us are ex SAS of course! (or maybe we are...........!). Anyway, a man like Richard Armitage in uniform does it for me - AND the storyline was pretty good too.

True Blood also went and finished so now I will have to get my vampire fix elsewhere. Although Bill wasn't really my type - bit on the pale side for me!
I did enjoy the music and the fast, raunchy storyline, but the name Sookie being pronounced 'Sucky' kind of grated.

This morning I resisted the urge to get up at 5am to watch the last two episodes of Lost. I watched it tonight though. I almost didnt want to watch it, didnt want it to end. I've loved it right through, to the point that Jack, Kate, Hugo and Sawyer feel like close friends. I cried at least 10 times tonight - or was it hayfever? Yes that's what it was. Maybe I need to get the boxed set and watch it all again?

Jack is definitely 'The Man'. I sometimes wondered what I would do if he came and sat next to me on the bus. Part of me would be braced ready to flee from some terroist ambush and yet I would feel safe knowing Jack was there. Maybe I think too much, but anyway, that's the end of 24 now. OK so there's a film in the pipeline, but it's not the same is it. Another boxed set?

Olivia, Peter and Harold. I love this show almost as much as Lost and 24 but it's still quite new in comparison. Took a few episodes to get my head around it but I'm well hooked now. Think JJ Abrams is up there with Tim Burton as far as favourite film makers go.

I guess I will just have to sit out on the patio and drink cold beer until the autumn sets in and someone comes up with suitable replacements? And if they have hunky men, preferrably a little on the rough/unkempt side wearing leather or uniform, that'll be even better!
