It's all terribly exiting isn't it? Casino Royale, live, in our living rooms, being played out in real time and with real people. Who needs a Bond movie with all this going on?

So, let's get this straight... A former Russian spy defects to the West, accuses the Russian Government of being involved with dastardly deeds, nobody either knows nor cares who he is or what he's saying, but he gets 'poisoned' anyway, probably by the tip of a black umbrella by a passer-by who 'bumped into him' as he walked across Waterloo Bridge, he then gets taken to hospital, attracts the media attention, photo shoot etc.. he's been craving, and suddenly the whole world wants to know who he is and what he has to say.

Are the Russians that bleeding stupid? Who knows? Apparently they're now testing all of the people who may have come into contact with him for radiation, focusing mainly on health staff, hotel workers, and a sushi bar.

The classic line of the series so far has to be at the press conference where the HPA (Health Protection Agency) bored everyone to tears with two and a half an hours very serious and hard hitting scientific 'analysis' of the risk involved, and invited the press to ask questions afterwards, at which point, a journalist from Panorama stood up and asked the question that's been on everyone lips - "So, it wasn't the sushi then?"

Panorama of all people...!Bloody Class that is.

I'm sure there's a serious side to all of this, and good on the guy for using his last dieing statement to show up Putin and his cronies for the uncivilised tossers that they are (he also praised us Brits, which is always nice to hear) but there's something very James Bond about it all. It's like going back to the cold war of the 80's without having to go through the Government/Poshly spoken BBC spin of "If you hear the siren, stay indoors, place a table top and any mattresses at 90 degree angles against a wall and hide under it" accompanied with Mr. Bean type animations showing you what to do.

Perhaps the Americans should contract out the hunt for Bin Laden, I reckon half a dozen ex KGB could manage in five weeks, what the combined might of Americas armed forces have spectacularly failed to do in five years.

Who says nostalgia ain't what it used to be?

I daresay if we outsourced the hunt for OSB to the right people, they would get him.
