A mess of drama!

I just accidentally noticed something extraordinary on BBC one. They are showing a TV series called Spooks. The episode I am seeing now is about an Algerian extremist who has escaped home arrest and plotting with local Iranians in the UK to attack US businesses here. So far one could guess almost anything, but moments later you find out that this Algerian is in touch with the Iranian Embassy! There is talk about nuclear achievements of Iran and their involvement in terrorist attacks against the US. Well, so far this is the normal line of propaganda. But then you see the scene at the Embassy (which is obviously supposed to happen in recent year). There are armed guard wearing the Revolutionary Corps Gaurds uniform at the door of the Embassy (an extremely unlikely thing for almost any embassy in the UK). And when you enter the Embassy, you see a lavishly luxurious place, like a palace (what did they think of the Iranian Embassy?). You see men wearing ties and these men are diplomatic digintaries of Iran! You see women at the embassy wearing no veil. A certain lady tears her dress in a murder scene inside the embassy and her bra can be seen, etc. Well, what a drama!

This is full of imagination and lies. I woder why the Iranian Embassy has never criticized the BBC for this stupid theme, particularly at a time when there is this political crisis and controversy about Iran. Anyway, watch Spooks and laugh at it. I always thought the idea of making up such cheap series only comes up in Iran. I never knew that such superficial ideas also appear in the BBC! Well done, BBC! Did they ever think to themselves that if they are Muslim fanatics, they would not have unveild Muslim Iranian women in the embassy. At least they could have paid one visit to the embassy, not to come up with this embarrasment. I thought they would be more mature than this. But for what it's worth, this is just drama, not news or analysis. It is at least good they do not make news based on their drama series.
