Ambassadors

[BloodiedGhouloshes]

Has anyone been watching? This has been an utter delight for me, and I only stumbled across it. In another life I used to work for an NGO in Central Asia, and this is just so so close to home.

I said to DH that there's a touch of Yes Minister about it

Loving it too.
The barmaid/girlfriend is Osha from Game of Thrones :-)

I'm loving this too. Especially the scene in the first episode where they stop the car and the David Mitchell character shouts at poncey actor and activist. Bliss.

The Ambassador's wife's position is interesting too (Keeley Hawes) - it's prompted me to reread http://www.amazon.co.uk/Diplomatic-Baggage-Adventures-Trailing-Spouse/dp/0719567262/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1383432715&sr=1-1&keywords=diplomatic+baggage Diplomatic Baggage by Brigid Keenan

Diplomatic Baggage by Brigid Keenan Oops!

I thought they would have made more of the joke about the eaves-dropping security men thinking the ambassador was planning to kill Prince Mark. It was funny but it sort of petered out.

Enjoyable episode tonight and they've left it open for another series - with a visit from POD!

Can't wait.

That was so good. Loved Mr Jackson and Fergana. Roll on the next series!

We stumbled on this on Iplayer. Just fantastic but gutted to find out its only 3 episodes.

POD = Personnel Operations Department.

In RL, anyhow.
