Avid readers of this blog (hi Dad) will know how much I loved the American TV series THE SHIELD. Actually 'love' does not adequately describe the strength of my feelings towards THE SHIELD and all who sailed in her.

So how pleased am I to have come across the American series DAMAGES starring Glenn Close - and watched the first series. Lummy me! Wonderful acting, editing, scripting. Sheer television bliss - from a man who never watches television!

(PS Claim to fame: I interviewed Glenn Close on stage on Broadway in an event to raise money for the fledgling BSC. Her wonderful piece of advice that was given to her when she started out: "Never compare your career to anyone else's. A complete waste of time and life. There'll always be someone doing better than you.")
