@CHERUBVideos I am writing a book at the moment about child agents. I did get some of the themes as ideas after reading CHERUB but I had the idea of the story before I had even heard of CHERUB. Do I have permission to publish this book (when it's done) including the themes inspired by CHERUB? I have not copied any scenes but I have got a few ideas from CHERUB.

@MrFartastic Nah mate, you say the word "terrorist" and straightaway a man with a turban having a bullet belt over his camouflage jacket spring into mind. It's always an Arab or a Muslim.
