We've just watched a TV doc with ex-spychief Stella Rimington reviewing Britain's changing attitude to Russia over the last century. Very interesting, especially since she finished it before the invasion of Georgia.She ended by asking whether we will ever feel able to trust the Russians?

I’m not sure that I have entirely processed everything that happened, but here are my thoughts. Season Three: I did like Martha. But I felt so sorry for her. No wonder the Rose fans couldn’t let go. She was mentioned in almost every damn episode. I think that cheapened Martha’s experience.
