Television Versus Reality
Most of the time, I wish television were a more accurate representation of reality. Whether that is the news or "reality" TV, it often leaves much to want.
The past few weeks, though, my wife and I have been watching the Amazing Mrs. Pritchard. It's Mr Smith Goes to Washington meets The West Wing in 10 Downing Street, with some great writing and a fabulous cast of mainly female characters.
What might be of interest to the readers of this blog in particular is her impulsive decision (after a "mealy mouthed" G8 summit; the show is not friendly to Tony Blair or George Bush) to ban private cars one day a week.
This is where I wish reality were imitating television.
