Why not?

Not really a tale of derring-do. 'Just' a whodunnit. Not that it's no good. Just not quite right, genre-wise, maybe.

I've always thought the first one was/is the best one.

Actually, I'm going to bump that last one up to 8 I think - that was a good ending.
 
Cygnus Bazza
Right - better be off. I've got a meeting in Lord Sugar's boardroom.

Great fun! Till the next time...

Go thrown off again. I expect you've all gone by now. See you next time.

Goodnight everyone. I won't be around next week - another tedious meeting - but see you the week after!

If only I could believe that! But it's a well-known fact that rebels can never shoot straight.

Incidentally, I think someone's made an unauthorised biopic of my childhood - or perhaps it was Servalan's?
