[Closed] SPOOKS on BBC1 NOW.

i am!

horizon on bbc2 and mark gattis horror on bbc4

much better!

Spooks has gone from shit, to worse than shit. Complete waste of licence fee money.Utterly preposterous, but not even slightly intellectually entertaining. Crap acting, crap scripts, same tired old storylines, and so full of mistakes it's painful.

I'll still watch it mind. 😆

Quite ironic that the building they portray as Thames House is actually the Freemasons HQ in Great Queen St.
Worked next door to it for years and recognised it first time I saw the programme.

Preferred it when the hard looking woman was in it, they always focussed on her very nice bum when she was running all over the shop, face like a smacked arse though

Couldn't stand her. She is a terrible actor. Much prefer the 'cheap version of Sophie Dahl' that they've got now. 🙂

I'll iPlayer it. I'm watching a Joanna Lumley docu on cats on ITV3 now.

I'm watching Horizon too full of cosmologists getting their knickers in a twist telling us how you get something out of nothing.

Couldn't stand her. She is a terrible actor

Totally agree, but her bum certainly enhanced a pair of jeans

Attention all Walter Mitty's, Ex SAS, EX SBS and spooks lets hear what you've got. 🙄

Or have mates that have been one of the above. 😕

kingkongsfinger, look over your left shoulder.

See that very dull blinking red light.....?

It's your smoke alarm. The battery needs replacing.

*Applauds Fred!*

Always enjoyed it but this series has been dire so far. Tonight I was catching up on Grand Designs ( the one where the woman lost her husband to stomach cancer). It almost brought me to tears as opposed to being bored to tears by Spooks. What a woman, what strength, what a chatterbox!

Must admit Spooks was more shite than usual last night, still watched it for some reason, albeit with laptop perched on my knee grooming/surfing the web. 😳

They showed the real Thames House last night.

You had to suspend even more of your willing disbelief last night. Two shadowy figures in black breaking into the Chinese Embassy...It really is daft.

They did indeed, thought that was quite funny.

Herminone Norris once asked if she could use the salt shaker that was on our table (was in Patisserie Valerie on Marylebone High Street). My brother, who was having lunch with me and is usually a very together kind of guy, suddenly got all flustered and stumbled over a simple reply. After she smiled at him he sort of went to pieces and as she walked away he gazed in what can only be described as a ‘longingly’ at her bottom!

IMO Spooks has been unwatchable for 4-5 years.

Waking The Dead has been treading the same path too. It used to be pretty decent back in the day, but then it became all self-indulgent in an OTT/preposterous kind of way. Even the likes of Tara Fitzgerald et al struggled to make it worth watching.

Saw it last night, didn't fail to disappoint either.

Can someone explain to me how Harry and his cronies managed to track the hackers down? Or did the scriptwriters just get bored and say "oh, we've run out of ideas, they just find the baddies"?

Herminone Norris is a slap head.

Lucas has just landed a big role on The Hobbit (Thorin) so they'll have to kill him off as he will be going to New Zealand for a very long time in the new year.

Well I quite like it. In fact quite a lot. I don't really expect it to be "real". I also watch Sci Fi so maybe I have some sort of ability to distinguish between fiction and reality.

If you don't like it, don't watch it. I don't want to watch any "reality" programs, so I don't. And subsequently I don't start threads about how last nights Big Brother/X-Factor/Whatever was crap.

I watched about 10 minutes of it, but then found myself reaching for a fork to gouge my eyeballs out and perforate my eardrums, so switched channels.
Do the script writers have no shame or intellect?

1961Bikie, well put, sir!

I agree it is a load of old b0ll0cks but it is mildly entertaining to watch, especially spotting the mistakes.

If Lucas gets written out, which is looking more and more likely, I don't think the remaining new characters have been in the show long enough for it to continue. There has always been a massive overlap in the past.

Yes it is a bit shit but still far better than the dire reality Tv crap which has been filling the TV for the last few years.
