Just as we were about to yawn and say pass the potatoes please, three unique Points of Play in The Game, episodes three and four, snapped us upright into pay-attention mode. Episode Three: MI5 has learned of a pending Soviet attack on Britain from a defecting Kgb agent operating on British soil. They know little save for the code name: Operation Glass. And so far, all of the clues have kept the team running with not much to show for their efforts. Murky intel has been abundant and dead people are piling up, but little else has been forthcoming: hence the potatoes. Point of Play Number One: MI6 operative Kate Wilkinson (Rachael Stirling) is unearthed, as a...

The Kiwis are saying no thank you to boxer Mike Tyson and the Aussies may not be far behind.
New Zealand has canceled Tyson's visa because of his 1992 rape conviction, days after Prime Minister John Key spoke out against Tyson's visit to the country, reports the AP. The decision was partly influenced by a charity that would have benefited from Tyson's appearance wanting nothing to do with him, says Associate Immigration Minister Kate Wilkinson.
Tyson is scheduled for a speaking tour in New Zealand and Australia in November, but that may not be happening anymore, as Australia is also currently deciding whether to let him visit or not.
Max Markson, the promoter for Tyson's events in New Zealand and Australia, is continuing to sell tickets and will refund the buyers' money if Tyson cannot appear.

Labour law amendment rushed through as part of deal with Warner, but opposition MPs describe 'day of shame'
The New Zealand government has passed legislation clearing the way for two Hobbit films to be made in the country despite stiff protest by opposition MPs, who said it was a "day of shame".
The government's decision to rush through amended labour laws, part of a deal made with Warner Brothers Pictures to keep director Peter Jackson's lucrative project in his native New Zealand, has split public opinion.
Some union officials reportedly received death threats in the wake of a short-lived international boycott over working conditions.
Warner Brothers executives had said they would consider moving the production elsewhere, a move that could have cost the country $1.5bn (£700m) and damaged the reputation of its film industry. They flew to New Zealand earlier this week to negotiate with a delegation led by the prime minister,...
