A good year for the BBC , at least in terms of quality programme making. The resurgent and excellent Doctor Who series proved beyond doubt that programmes for the whole family are still feasible and can be sure-fire ratings winners without being saccharine coated dross. And last week we saw the start of the new series of the marvellous Spooks, with a two part edge of the seat "bombs in London" chiller followed by this weeks far right political based story. I watched next weeks episode on BBC3 last night and it too was a superb story, well told and well acted. I don't think many Muslims will be happy at the way they are portrayed, but hey I don't suppose many Tories and other right wing politicians and sympathisers would be happy at this weeks portrayal of them. The fact that this program, which is exaggerated, will draw criticism from all sides just means that the makers have hit the target yet again.
