While Gemma's been sleeping, it's been a 24-fest around here. Although we faithfully watched the first 7-8 hours when broadcast on the beeb, we missed a bunch of episodes when travelling with a broken VCR and pretty much lost the plot. Thanks to the mindful programmers at BBC Choice, all 23 episodes leading into la grande finale were re-broadcast last week, four or five a night, giving us a chance to stay up & catch up. The same geniuses at Choice also ran something called "24 Heaven", which just after the half way mark of the re-run crunch thought it wise to reveal that Nina was the mole, revealed in #23 under normal circumstances. Pretty stupid.

New party trick: say "what do fish say" to Gemma and she purses her lips together and makes a suction noise. Quite funny, although she doesn't always do it on command when stangers are around.
