This is the final post that I will be making on the White Noise blog. For almost two years, Crikey have been gracious enough to provide me with some webspace and bandwidth to natter on about television. I’ve made some good friends during this time (both at Crikey and with a handful of people who […]
Japan, the land of the rising sun, is where we find this weeks instalment of Danger 5 has taken us. Following the downing of US planes by a long-believed dead pilot, the Colonel sends the Danger 5 team out to find out what’s going on, to locate Japan (which has gone missing) and to, of […]
