With Sadie Away, We Had To Find Other Ways Of Entertaining Ourselves

Last week, in recognition of the most historical moment in American Political history in my lifetime I started a voyage into the fictional democratic administration of Josiah Bartlet.

Let me explain... when I first joined Bubble and Squeak we started discussing favourite television shows. 'The West Wing!' someone proclaimed 'It simply had to be watched!' retorted others. It turned out that throughout the various people in our little office there lay, just waiting for my viewing pleasure the whole box set of the entire seven years. Wendy lent me the first series, which consists of 22 episodes of the 156 episodes, which form the seven series.

I borrowed it last weekend and watched it committedly. It was an amazingly engaging story, brilliantly written and characterisation of the like which we rarely see in cinema and have become accustomed to in quality television dramas.
Needless to say, I have now been utterly seduced by the on goings of The President, Leo, Josh, Sam, Toby, CJ who have me traveling with them on their journey through the office relationships, complimented by the backdrop of the White House where the speeches and invasions are as entertaining as the pardoning of bloody turkeys!

A five star recommendation by all those Bubbles.
