I thought the lesson was: if you are a goody drinking poisoned single malt, keep your lips closed while sipping.

ANYONE who is walking along the street and suddenly turn 180 degrees and go in the opposite direction have had counter-surveillance training, no matter what.

...that being Lucas North means that also being covered in hideous prison tattoos never makes women want to scream and run in the opposite direction

...that no one held in captivity for long periods of time ever needs to go to the toilet.

...that no one held in captivity for long periods of time ever has dog breath or BO and can still stand right next to someone without making them pass out.

Being covered in prison tattoos never needs any sort of explanation.

No one ever uses the toilet for toileting anyway, it's just another meeting room Smile

That all the great charcters make section chief, and that for the amount of coffee they drink they never seem to go to the toilet. Also you never see anyone reading the paper.

That MI5 recruitment selection practices specify that successful candidates must fit one of the following personality profiles:

- brooding heroic dark horse with a penchant for removing his shirt with very little provocation
- ice cold ballbreaker
- femme fatale
- token young ethnic male
