If you don't see it on the news first you mean? ;)

Thanks for pointing this out, I'd missed it and will be otherwise engaged when it's on.

Hey !

I've got a DVD recorder.

Unfortunately, one of the now deceased cats trod on the remote..(yonks ago).....and pressed 'something'.....or lots of somethings.......And I've never been able to get it to work since.
Can't even seem to be able to restore the wretched thing to its 'factory settings' and start again from scratch.
Now, it'll only play DVDs.

Cheers - Phil (No...The cat didn't die because she trod on the remote, and I had a hissy fit !.......So used to cats b*ggering things up, over the years, I gave up.)

I taped it too  :o, rather unexpected ending with them not wanting to retaliate especially the army general

Very interesting with the ending somewhat of a suprise. Plenty of food for thought though on the decisions they made and the reasons why.

Decent bit of drama. Made a refreshing change from the dire sh*te normally pushed out at 9pm or 8pm or 7pm for that matter, even if the subject matter was unpalatable.
