Nicholas Beckett: It had to be voice-activated. But they didn't find any trace of the bomb. Well, nothing you could identify, anyway.
Ed Russell: From what I hear, they didn't find much of the Admiral either.

User Reviews

Bugs..? Not my cup of tea..!

In 1995, the BBC has come up with a new TV series "BUGS". It's supposed to be a 90's version of the Avengers or something.

Unfortunately, most of the series I've seen has failed to live up to its standard. Special effects, big bangs (that go off for no reason), hi-tech gadgetry, etc. is certainly well down below par.

The characters are not really realistic and I must say Jaye Griffiths dosen't really look like if she's really into the part. More like she's lost in space...

All-in-all, the series may've got off to a good start but then it started to decline with the viewers switching over the other TV programmes.

Although it hasn't done well in the last series, I don't think the BBC would get another chance to come up such pappy show such as this one..!
