On the positive side, there would have been relief that there wasnt a standard issue cardigan that detectives were supposed to wear.
But on the negative side, there was also a whole lot less careering round the city in a Ford Torino, sliding over the roof of cars and having shoot-outs with bad guys.
One suspects that CIA recruits will be similarly disappointed to find that life as a spy is not as it appears in the ABC show, Alias.
But the CIA are doing a good job in blurring the line between real life and make-believe by using the shows star Jennifer Garner to help recruit new agents.
The actress, who plays all-action spy Sydney Bristow on TV, tells people who log onto the CIA website that the agency is looking for people with wide-ranging talents, integrity, common sense, patriotism and courage who want to make a difference in the world.
Failing that, however, theyll take the same gung-ho cowboys – and men who frequent lap dancing clubs – that theyve been taking for years.’
