06.06 | Spies come in from the cold to face the heat

Australia's The Age has published a good article about how recent TV shows have started using spying as a kinda cool, zeitgeisty way of coming up with plot devices. So, of course, '24' gets a mention. As does the BBC's 'Spooks', which I hate with a passion. I might go into why later, if anyone thinks that statement is abhorant.

Yeah - tell us why you don't like 'Spooks'. I thought it was silly but fun.

My problem with Spooks is the way it fails to really use any exposition: it's like those meetings where they sit around in the office and go over the plotline up to that point, it commits that screenwriting sin of saying "you are, as you know, my brother." I always mean to watch 24 with a more critical eye to see what it does instead, but I'm too much of a geeky fanboy.
