I think it's interesting that they keep having funky establishing shots of
the BL, which is clearly a "sexy" building. Also Terry fits into a world
with trendy media types (er...and Johnny Vegas).
But how did they pay for the huge London house, eh?

Dear Owen
Think Terry is bad for our image cos he never seems to do any work whilst at
work or otherwise. At least Casualty and Londons Burning folk occasionally
seen putting out fires and saving patients!

Would the adulterous Terry from "Happiness" be a better role model?
According to http://www.cilip.org.uk/advocacy/lis.pdf there are over 300
million visits to public libraries in the UK annually, and even students
sometimes use their university libraries. These would be better places
to work on projecting an image of professionalism to prospective
librarians.
Could it be less an image problem and more a
10K-salary-for-a-*graduate*-trainee-position-you-must-be-joking problem?
