Last year, about the same time, I went to see
Skyfall in cinema. I loved the movie. Those who watched it remember that there was a scene in it, when
M played by Judi Dench, is taken to a public parliamentary hearing about the events of the movie. Well, it appears
that life imitates art, as the head of
SIS aka MI6 (who is called in real life C and not M, and yes I know why and it is very sad that I do) among other important figures of UK intelligence and counterintelligence is summoned to a parliamentary hearing, in order "
to provide greater transparency about their work", says the BBC article. It is not as dramatic, in fact it looks like and sound just as tedious as a parliamentary committee hearing does, nevertheless I find it fascinating. Because it gives insights to a secret world, because it is always interesting to see the reality that inspired fiction.
