As we move unavoidably onto Series 4 (or Season if you like to get things wrong) I find myself dealing more with Agents.

*

A huge thank you for all who have already reviewed the show and given it 5 stars.

*

But could I ask if you enjoy these you now do the same and help prove how popular it is.

*

Don't do it for me (although yes, obviously, do it for me) - do it for who 5 stars may also help deliver unto us.

*

Also if you're not humming System Addict at this point, you are too young and I despise you (I don't... well a little).
