Tennis ATP & WTA Week 9 (28/02/11)

Next week Davies Cup draws begin, below I'll analyse each tie.

Serbia Vs. India

No match at all. The reigning champions should fly past India with at max one loss in the doubles with Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi forming a formidable force. Somdev Devvarman shouldn't be a problem to any of the Serbian singles players.

4-1 to Serbia

UPDATE: Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the tie, just as India looked to have some hope I found out that their doubles team of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi are also out so really I'd say this could be a total whitewash at 5-0 to Serbia.

Sweden Vs. Russia

Sweden should have the edge here with Robin Soderling leading the singles and Simon Aspelin and Robert Lindstedt holding them up with the doubles. As long as Soderling wins both his ties Sweden should be safely through. The Russian team are weak rank wise but all 4 have the potential to make a shock win though I doubt this with Soderling's current form.

3-2 to Sweden

Czech Republic Vs Kazakhstan

Neither team have a strong doubles presence. This tie could be difficult as Tomas retired last week, will he be ready for this tie? Lets say Berdych is healthy then Czech Republic has the edge as he should be able to win both his ties.

3-2 to Czech Republic

Argentina Vs Romania

Argentina at home means Argentina is nearly sure of a win. Hanescu could threaten in the singles and Romania actually has a doubles player but all in all I think Argentina will overwhelm the Romanians.

4-1 to Argentina

Chile Vs USA

Is there really any point? Without Fernando Gonzalez Chile is nothing more than a Group 1 or even Group 2 side whilst the USA have former No.1 Andy Roddick, John Isner and the Bryan Brothers, no match at all, whitewash.

5-0 to USA

Belgium Vs Spain

Spain wants this that's why they are sending their best team with Nadal, Ferrer, Verdasco and Lopez. I may have considered Almagro, considering his form, over Verdasco though. I doubt the Belgians will have anything to give against this team, maybe they'll save face in the doubles.

5-0 to Spain

Croatia Vs Germany

Possibly one of the tougher ties in terms of rankings, however I think Croatia will win by 3 to 2. The German team can be very threatening to any of the good teams but I think Cilic and Dodig will muster at least 3 wins between them.

3-2 to Croatia

Austria Vs France

This could be a pretty interesting draw but I think with Simon and Gasquets recent form they should at least give France 2 wins in the singles, if not more. Melzer will be tough but not impossible to beat.

3-2 to France

On the WTA side not much is happening with only Jankovic and Schiavone bothering to go out this week. Dinara Safina will be at KL as well as Marion Bartoli - of course mentioning them both for different reasons.

UPDATE: Gasquet is out of the Davis Cup tie, Austria now has every chance of beating France as Gasquet's replacement is Jeremy Chardy - who I doubt will threaten Melzer.

Tennis ATP & WTA Week 8 Results (21/02/11)

This week Vera Zvonareva beat Caroline Wozniacki at the Qatar Ladies Open final, Vera is definitely becoming the form player of the year. However Wozniacki had the better run to the final not dropping a set en route to the final whilst Zvonareva had to play two three set matches against Jelena Jankovic and Daniela Hantuchova.

As I predicted Gisela Dulko won at the Abierto Mexicano, in a draw like this rankings don't matter that much.

Great great news (for me anyway), Djokovic continues his unbeaten streak defeating Roger Federer in the final of Dubai. I really do hope that this year will be Djokovic turning point where he finally will be placed amongst Nadal and Federer.

Ferrer also halted Nicolas Almagro from winning three tournaments in three weeks, phew! Whilst Del Potro will be playing Janko Tipsaveric in the final of Delray Beach, lets hope this is the first title of Del Potro's return.

Yauatcha, 15 Broadwick Street

A special day means we had to visit a special location so we went to Yauatcha, considered one of the best dim sum places in London. I have always wanted to go there but was slightly put off by the high price tag but seeing it was a "special day" I guess there was an excuse to shelf out. As I'm not a connoisseur in any sense every time I go to a restaurant I do extensive research into the place and felt a bit worried when many critics panned the service as being lacklustre and verging on rude however nothing of the sort seemed evident on our visit, in fact the service was one of the highlights of the meal! Upon arrival the wait staff seemed friendly and inviting and this wasn't any different once seated, maybe there is a difference when visiting at lunch. All the staff serving us were friendly and smiley, only the non-asian male staff seemed a bit moody. The decor is quite nice but nothing to leave you mesmerised, love the shear blue walls, however I'm still not use to the almost communal seating plan akin to Wagamama and Cha Cha Moon, both also Alan Yau's creations. The low seating was also slightly awkward at first. The closeness of the tables were a bit distracting as fellow customers seemed to look me up and down quite often! I was expecting that from the staff after reading extensive reviews, or maybe it's because I was eating the jasmine ribs which smothered me in sauce half the time.

Ok so onto my order, this time with my trusty father on hand. We ordered the Scallop Shui Mai, Har Gau, Char Siu Buns, Shanghai Siew Long Bun, Jasmine Tea Smoked Organic Ribs and Prawn Cheung Fun. I didn't realise at first but I would be devouring quite a lot of prawns in the process!

The Scallop Shui Mai was very pretty but it wasn't that special in my opinion. The scallop atop the normal shui mai filling didn't really make it any better for me, yes the ingredients were of a better class to normal shui mai but I preferred the ones at Princess Garden and they smelt a bit weird. The Har Gau was nice, I don't normally eat har gau but I ordered this because of special mentions in a lot of blogs, however the skin stuck on the steamer as I couldn't dislodge the dim sum without ripping it to shreds. The Char Siu Buns were lovely, very fluffy and a nice filling. The Siew Long Bao was ok, the skin was pretty average, it didn't hold the ingredients at all and was thick at the top but the ingredients inside were perfect, second to none in London. The Jasmine Tea Smoked ribs were a slight letdown, as lovely as they were they were a tad too sweet and didn't really taste of Jasmine Tea. The prawn cheung fun was ok, nothing special really, it was well made but not well made enough to slither in my tongue. Oh we also ordered Wuyi Shan Shui Xian which tasted a bit like English tea on the first sip!

Overall it was a lovely lunch that I enjoyed, the food was above average in general but there wasn't anything that would necessarily draw me back there just to eat it. Our bill came up to £49.20, expensive yes but not pocket busting expensive, meaning I would consider going back there but only for special occasions considering you can get dim sum just as good at a cheaper price at places like Pearl Liang and Princess Garden.

My father's take: Ok but a bit too sweet, catering for the British.

Zizzi Shad Thames

An excursion to the Design Museum led me to lunch at Zizzi's. Personally I wanted to try ASK (yes I have never been) but the uninviting presence of an empty shop meant Zizzi's seemed more inviting. The only other time I had been to Zizzi's was a couple of years ago back in Bromley where I had lasagne. I debated with myself whether I should get the Linguine Gamberi or Pollo Al Rosmarino, in the end I chose the Pollo Al Rosmarino because I was quite worried that the Linguine would be really hot. I also ordered an apple juice which should have come with a place mat as the bottom was extremely slippery.

Personally I wasn't a huge fan of the Pollo Al Rosmarino, it tasted ok but a bit too strongly of rosemary or something similar. The chicken didn't taste right either and the whole thing was only warm when served. The service was average as well. One of my friends didn't really know what the waiter was talking about when he asked what base she wanted and the waiter seemed a bit annoyed about that.

Overall it was an average experience I'd say, pricing was ok at just under £30 for 3 people but next time I'll look into ASK instead.

ANTM Cycle 16 Episode 1

CYCLE 16 HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! Honestly this cycle has started off fantastically. Yes the episode was a little short but I love the slight tweaks that have been made, it makes it sharper and fresher. Here will be my take on the photo shoot this week.

MY RANKINGS

FIRST CALLOUT

Molly

Whether it's the judges, the fans or myself I think most will say this is the best shot this week. The movement, the jawline, the eyes... everything is just perfect for a black and white photo.

Alexandria

This photo is sexy, sassy and FIERCE! However what makes Molly's stand above this shot is that I think this is a bit posed and maybe too sexy in fact, don't get me wrong though this is an awesome shot.

Dalya

Dalya is gorgeous and this shot shows it. I just love her profile and she is fantastic even when she is doing nothing. I am worried however that she'll be Kendal 2.0 in that she is gorgeous but lacks energy in photos but for now Dalya is riding high!

Kasia

Personally I love this shot. I'm not a huge Kasia fan (atm anyway) but I still love this shot, it is natural and relaxed. I think most other girls look slightly posy but with Kasia's shot it looks like a beautiful candid, yes there isn't much going on but Kasia is pretty and modelesque nonetheless.

Jaclyn

I love the fresh rawness of this shot. I love Jacyln's jawline, the gaze is a bit blank but still nice.

Mikaela

I think Mikaela is relying on her extremely interesting looks here, her jawline, her eyes, hew eyebrows, however the shot is still very nice to look at. Whilst I think Mikaela could have done more she already has that interesting face to carry her far.

Dominique

Dominique's shot is pretty but the more you look at it the blank-er it feels. I still like the shot but I want more energy in the shot - that's why Molly and Alexandria place at the top because a black and white can look awfully boring if there isn't any action or anything absolutely gorgeous.

Hannah

Hannah is beautiful here but I have to disagree with the judges here because whilst I may look at Hannah first (because of the lighting) I'm more drawn towards Molly. Hannah is still beautiful in this shot but to me she still is one of the least memorable.

Angelia

Angelia's eyes are beautiful, whilst I agree she looks like a beautiful girl but not a model in this shot I'm not convinced she should have been eliminated on this photo. I would have given her a second chance.

Monique

I find this very amateur looking, I think a lot of it is to do with the mouth. I'm just not drawn to this shot.

Nicole

SABOTAGE! Ok Russell James may have meant a lot of good whilst taking this photo but Tyra and the team should not have chosen a shot which she is barely visible in, but I have to judge the photo on what it is and on the whole it is not strong.

Ondrei

Ondrei is beautiful but here she makes me feel tense, you feel her nerves. It all comes down to her awfully stiff  spine and her curled fingers. The blank stare doesn't do her any favours either.

Brittani

As beautiful as Brittani may be in this shot I just can't get over her scary eye, this is not her fault and obviously Tyra and co love this "alternative" looking shot but for me and most of the fans I just can't help being weirded out.

Sara

Ok I don't like Sara, as a model, but it doesn't mean I'm biased against her, this shot is just bland, boring and a bit weird. What is with her gaze and why is she standing in such a unnatural way. I'm not convinced.

So after 1 episode my favourites have changed! I haven't really found a girl I love yet (love like Kendal C15, Raina C14 etc etc) but I like a lot of the girls, here are my rankings.

14th

Sara 

(Down 1)

Sara falls down to 14th. I don't dislike her but somebody has to come bottom and sadly it is Sara with her rattail. I just don't see it, I understand there are a lot of alternative looking girls in modelling right now but Sara doesn't exude that look to me.

13th

Dominique 

(Up 1)

Dominique was more likeable than I thought. I think what is hindering her massively is her severe hairline and freckles - I honestly haven't seen a model with freckles as many or as evident as hers. I'm still not convinced she is a model but for now I'm ok with her.

12th

Kasia 

(Same)

I think I like her but I can't justify pushing her up when I don't remember seeing much of anything from her this episode.

11th

Monique 

(Down 3)

Monique isn't nearly as pretty as I thought she'd be, I'm not saying she is ugly but I thought she'd be instantly the "relying on pretty" girl. I'm not seeing much promise from her at the moment.

10th

Hannah

(Up 1)

Still pretty forgettable but I can see myself liking her when she gets more air time.

9th

Alexandria

(Down 3)

I like Alexandria but I have to be honest, at times she looks older than her age and she is potentially our resident bitch this cycle. I haven't seen anything too bad from her at the moment but she seems to be getting the bitch edit.

8th

Angelia 

(Down 3)

OUT

We didn't get much of Angelia but she looked quite aged and scary in her confessionals! I don't really know what to think of her but I know she wouldn't have been part of my favourites.

7th

Ondrei 

(Up 2)

Whilst we haven't seen much of Ondrei I think she's very sweet and nice, I love how she can look - I just want to see much more of her.

6th

Dalya 

(Up 1)

Ok I officially love Dalya, there is no doubting it, though I'd like to see more of her. From now on I'm sure Dalya will only be moving up.

5th

Brittani 

(Down 2)

Dropping down by 2 is by no means a fail because at the moment I still don't really know who I like or dislike but Brittani has set herself on the right foot. I'm not as sure about her looks on video but we'll see what happens.

4th

Molly 

(Same)

Photographically I'm loving Molly but personality wise I haven't seen anything to LOVE yet. I can see her being my potential favourite but for now she stays at 4th.

3rd

Mikaela 

(Down 1)

I love Mikaela's high fashion face, her cheek bones are just crazy! But will she be my absolute fave this cycle, I'm not sure yet.

2nd

Nicole 

(Down 1)

Nicole was a slight disappointment this episode, her photo wasn't good, she doesn't look very modelesque in person and she seems to lack confidence but for now I'll keep her high solely based on potential.

1st

Jaclyn 

(Up 9!)

Jaclyn definitely made the best impression in the first episode, I just love her cuteness. Her babyface, her voice and her personality make for one unstoppable combination. She just came across so lovely and adorable, I'm sure she'll stay up in my favourites throughout this competition.

ANTM Cycle 16 Preshow

We are already at Cycle 16! It seems like only days ago when Ann won the IMG contract and Vogue Italia spread. Cycle 15 was already a very good cycle but Cycle 16 looks to have the potential to be even better. I like most of the girls this cycle based on pre show photos but I know after the première some of these opinions will change. Below is my current ranking for the girls.

14th

Dominique

Currently I don't like Dominique. I'm sure she is a nice girl but out of the 14 I think she has the least potential, and if I must say she is the least attractive. And tbh I don't see why she was cast if this cycle will continue down the route of high fashion. A huge problem is that her face looks swollen in a lot of her pictures, I don't know why that is but I hope she turns it around by the show.

13th

Sara

I don't like Sara because she doesn't do anything for me, I don't see the model in her either atm. I wonder how she'll be edited though.

12th

Kasia

Personally I think I'll begin to like Kasia once the show starts, in fact I'm starting to like her already but still I haven't seen enough of her so at the moment the pinched up face isn't doing enough to push her into my favourites.

11th

Hannah

I like Hannah, she is pretty and sweet looking but she's also forgettable - to me anyway. I find myself forgetting her most of the time and at the moment she doesn't seem to have the high fashion face.

10th

Jaclyn

I like Jaclyn's personality but I'm not convinced by her looks yet. Her face doesn't work for me on film and that worries me. However her personality is so sweet, all-american I know I'll like her but I need to see her photographs.

9th

Ondrei

Yet again I love Ondrei but I love so many girls this cycle, she just hasn't stood out compared to some of the others. Also I've only seen two pictures of her, the one above and one of her clapping. She looked stunning in the GIF but it was evident she was shorter than the others - will that hinder her?

8th

Monique

Yet again I like Monique but her photographs don't stand out to me. She looked gorgeous in the promo but she needs to translate that to photographs. I hope she does well but I really doubt she'll win.

7th

Dalya

Currently Dalya ranks just in my Top half but I can equally see her falling low or climbing to the Top of my chart. What I'm worried about is Dalya's harsh features, she can photograph pretty badly at times and that worries me. In a cycle where I see a lot of photogenic girls I'm not sure I'll have the will to champion a girl that can't photograph well so I hope Dalya isn't one of them.

6th

Alexandria

I'm not sure why I've put her this high but I think it has to do with me liking her look however I also find her pretty forgettable. She actually has quite a lot of pre show work so maybe after looking at that I'll begin to like her more.

5th

Angelia

I absolutely love her exotic looks but I don't see a high fashion model in her. I just want to see more from her. I think she won't be making the Top 6 but I hope she takes great photos along the way.

4th

Molly

OMG this girl's gifs look stunning. Originally I did not like her because the photo above looks average to me but once I saw her in action she swayed me. I really hope she photographs well.

3rd

Brittani

I haven't seen much of Brittani but from what I've seen she deserves to be amongst my Top 4. The photo above reminds me so much of Karlie Kloss, I'm not sure she resembles her in real life but as long as she channels that fierceness she'll get Tyra licking her boots.

2nd

Mikaela

Mikaela is one of those girl's which I find difficult to judge. From the promo photos she has the most gorgeous  high fashion face out of any of the girls but I'm worried that face might not translate in all her photos. However, worries aside, she is a gorgeous girl who sits at 2nd in my rankings but she'll need to work hard to keep that.

1st

Nicole

All hail the queen! Nicole's promo shot wasn't the shot that won me over it was her extensively fantastic pre show work. She has got it and she is ready to work it. However I've also heard that she won't win, and to be honest she doesn't look like the usual ANTM winner. She is OMG pretty but she doesn't have any really distinctive features that ANTM could sell and that's why she'll probably not win. However I hope she takes awesome shots and amazes everyone!

Tennis ATP & WTA Week 7 Results (14/02/11)

This week I nearly had to do a double take as both Robin Soderling and Nicolas Almagro won their tournaments, like last week! And Raonic made the final! Nicolas Almagro will be aiming for 3 titles in 3 weeks next week - will he have the stamina? Soderling has also only lost one match this season, two months in that's an impressive record. Of course credit be due to Roddick for making this week's winners different from the last. I'm also very happy for Del Potro as he is starting to get back on his feet, hope to see him back in the Top 10 soon.

On the women's side Wozniacki regained the No.1 spot and won the Dubai title, her draw however wasn't as difficult as I'd initially expected. At Memphis the seeds fell like confetti with only the 6th seed, Rebecca Marino left by the QFs, however it was unseeded Magdalena Rybarikova who won the title. Lourdes Dominguez Lino won at Bogota.

Tennis ATP & WTA Week 8 (21/02/11)

Straight after Dubai we have the Qatar Ladies Open where most of the top players will be. Caroline Wozniacki, back at No.1, will lead the field with fellow teen Agnieszka Radwanska a potential QF opponent. Wozniacki had a breakout year last year but Radwanska has yet to make it big really, I wonder if this possible match up will be what Radwanska needs. Amongst other opponents in that section are Flavia Pennetta who has as much of a chance of making the QFs as Radwanska I'd say.

Schiavone will have Kuznetsova in her section again but not before Peer. Who will win between Kuznetsova and Peer? Well Kuznetsova has been gaining form so I'd put my money on Kuznetsova but Peer plays well in the Middle-East so it could be tough. Na Li will lead section 3 with only Jankovic a real contender here. Whilst Zvonareva will have Azarenka to contend with. The seeds have been doing well so I'd say in this draw the same will happen.

The women's Abierto Mexicano draw isn't out yet but the players list (bar qualifiers) are out. After the chaos of last week in the weaker draws I don't think placing a bet on any player will be clever but Gisela Dulko at once popped out to me after seeing the list. However anybody can win.

At the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships Roddick leads once again with a very American field, at least for the Top 4 seeds, all of whom are American. I really don't see any upsets if Roddick plays to his best, I'd like to see Juan Martin Del Potro make it far, he has been doing well recently so hopefully we'll see him in the final.

Yet again I don't think the draws are out for Dubai men's so I only have the players list to go by. Of course Federer and Djokovic will be a difficult duo to beat but Tomas Berdych has all the potential to do that. Mikhail Youzhny is fourth seed, whilst I don't know if he can beat the top 2 I'd say he's one to watch. Other threats in the draw include Victor Troicki, Gilles Simon and Nikolay Davydenko. Most of the players in this draw have potential to make it far but a lot of them haven't till now so it'll be risky to predict any of them getting to the SFs or finals.

The men's Abierto Mexicano draw isn't out either but there are a lot of names to look out for including Ferrer, Verdasco, Almgro, Wawrinka, Nalbandian, Dolgopolov, Monaco, Robredo, Chela and Milos Raonic. It'll be hard to break this list of players. Ferrer and Verdasco are the Top 10 stars any top draw needs. Almagro could potentially win two tournaments in two weeks - he's on a run here. Wawrinka, Nalbandian, Monaco, Robredo and Chela are all potential winners here I'd say whilst Milos Raonic is having a great run. Dolgopolov lost in round 1 last week but he should be fresh for this tournament.

Asadal, Holborn

Today I went to Asadal attracted by its reviews and its close proximity to a tube station! I was expecting some place dark and dingy but in fact it was remarkably airy for an underground joint - more airy than the Korean I went to at Central Point. The place was very spacious, which is always a plus, but I couldn't help but feel like the place was lacking fresh air. The lunch menu is quite much smaller than the dinner menu, the dinner menu looks more interesting to me but anyway I ordered a Dak Bool Go Gi Set, being fooled by it being chicken - in fact what I really want to taste is the Kan Poong Gi but that's only for dinner.

The Dak Bool Go Gi Set (Lunch Box) came with Daikon, Rice, Chae, Salad, some dumplings and of course the chicken. I think nothing was particularly amazing but the whole set was decent as a whole - and very filling. The Chae was nice, though I'm not sure if it's MSG but my throat was a little sore after eating it all. The dumplings tasted nice but they were stone cold, I don't know if they were supposed to come out like that but it gave me the feeling that they had been made in the morning and just dished out with every set. The chicken was tasty, though I'm not sure if it was distinctively Korean as it's my first time eating Dak Bool Go Gi, if I didn't know I would have thought it was Chinese. The broccoli in the chicken was lovely - I'm not normally a broccoli person but the broccoli here held all the juices and was soft but crunchy. My dad had the Yukhei Bibimbab, he isn't a fan of Korean food (is he a fan of food in general?) so he didn't really say much about it.

Anyway it cost us a few pence more than £27, that is for two dishes and two drinks. I'm happy as long as prices don't exceed £40 tbh - unless I go somewhere that I expect to pay more than that. Overall it's a decent place at a convenient location, staff are helpful and polite and the food is good enough. Will consider going for dinner - but definitely not only with my dad.

7 Days in Life

7 Days in Life had a lot of potential, a plot based on something current, a storyline that was atypical to TVB series and a good cast but what came out was TVB's desperate attempt to be current and relevant. Personally I thought the series lagged, 20 episodes talking about a 7 day experience is a bit too much, not that this couldn't be done well but Leung Choi-yuen, the producer, focused far too much on irrelevant plots and things that were generally quite unnecessary. In the end none of the stories seemed complete. I do applaud the series for being a bit different and having an ok ending but to me it failed to impress.

Best Actor

Steven Ma

Steven manages a decent portrayal yet again, I do find his character interesting if not a bit irritating, but what I like about his portrayal is that he manages to make the character intriguing - not hated. You want to know what he's thinking because in your heart you know he won't be the pure evil character he is written to be at the start.

Bosco Wong

Bosco's image is the energetic type so playing this kind of character suits him. I think he did well in this series though nothing of note. However his character mixes very well with this series, a more typical, impulsive character compared to Steven and Sonija. I was pleasantly shocked he and Oceane were a couple at the end because I thought TVB would put him with Joyce.

Best Actress

Sonija Kwok

It's like I'm giving the nominations to everybody now! Well yeah kind of. Sonija did ok enough for me to give her recognition, will she be nominated at the end of the year for me? Don't think so. But I'm beginning to like Sonija.

Best Supporting Actor

No Nominees

Best Supporting Actress

Mimi Lo

Lol, old prostitute! That was Mimi's character. Quite a refreshing role for her and it was amusing seeing her and Patrick. I find it rather odd that she is 28 in the series though. In fact most of the characters should be 5 years older in general.

Best Couple
No Nominees

Most Improved Actor

No Nominees

Most Improved Actress

Joyce Cheng

Whilst Joyce is very raw with her acting I like her "all-out" style. When you watch her you can see she throws herself into her character and isn't reserved with her acting. I nominated her here as praise to this but if she wants to move up a level she'll need to improve further, becoming more natural.

Koni Lui

Koni was a bit stiff here but I could see improvement from previous roles. I would definitely like to see Koni in more roles.

Favourite Male Character
No Nominees

Favourite Female Character
No Nominees

Breakthrough Performance

Oceane Zhu

Oceane Zhu is quickly becoming one of my favourite new stars. She is evidently less reserved in her acting than many actresses at the start of their career. The next step for Oceane is obviously to improve on her Cantonese because she'll be typecasted by TVB if she can only speak Mandarin.

Best Chemistry

Patrick Tang, Mimi Lo and Coleman Tam

Whilst I don't like Patrick Tang I think collectively they had a lovely chemistry, possibly the most interesting plot in the story. A kidnapper who becomes friends with the victim and in the process gets himself a wife! lol. Their scenes were funny and warm and it was great watching them trying to figure out how to outwit their boss.

Most Annoying Character

Anyone who called Brian Burrell Cooper

Come on TVB if you name a character Copper then at least have the decency to enforce that everybody call him Copper! Not COOPER! Sorry I'm anal like that, but I heard at least 5 variations of the name in the series and I just find it irritating when the subtitles put Copper but actors, prime culprit Kiu Bo Bo, say Cooper.

Recognition Award

Casper Chan

Angelina Lo

Both ladies performed well for their small roles. Casper Chan doesn't get that many roles, she needs to! Whilst Angelina Lo seems to play these type of characters best.
