04.25 | Stereotypes? Me? Never... well I am a fan of Arab-bashing '24', after all

"Those of you not versed in the brilliance that is '24' might think all this sounds at best a tad unrealistic, at worst just plain daft, but that is precisely the programme's charm. Suspend belief for forty minutes a week and you'll find the adventures of Jack, Kim and company a great deal more absorbing and exciting than whatever "bleak" and "gritty" British drama is being shown on the other side. '24', much like 'Twin Peaks' and 'The X-Files' (before it got silly) before it credits viewers with both a sense of humour and a healthy sense of the absurd, as well as an imagination and the ability to keep track of literally dozens of loose ends."
Yer favourite posho rag-mag The Oxford Student intellectualises '24' to such a degree that I can't even understand what they're on about. I'm clueless when it comes to long words and such, you see. However, I will celebrate their support for the series by cheering on their team in next year's boat race, and I'll drop the odd "tally ho, eh?" and "joshing good fun, old feller" next time I speak to my "Mah" and "Pah". Or something.
