Spooks! (MI-5 for our American brethren)

Anyone else a fan?

Had not seen a single episode till fairly recently, then borrowed first three series off me little sis just cos she'd raved about it. Watched all them virtually back to back then bought series 4 a couple of weeks back and devoured that in a week. Obviously, when I like something, I don't do things by half measures.

Didn't even realise there was a series 5 starting last night till about two days ago, so what a pleasant surprise that was. And what a cracking opening salvo. Takes a brave drama to kill off leading stars in such a fashion, but they've done it again, and what a nasty way for someone to make an exit. Ouch.

Quality British drama.

Bit posh for you, Fradders.

They had one of the Cold Feet sorts start last night. Not quite the same allure.

Love the way they just seem to kill off pretty major characters at the most unlikely times, as with poor Colin last night...

I missed the opening minute last night. What happened to the bird who shot Adam? And how come she didn't take out Harry as well?!

Colin's death. Nasty. You'd have thought he might've struggled a bit more though.

Mr & Mrs Shug watched this for the first time last night, really enjoyed it, so stayed up to watch tonight's episode (which was on BBC3)

Really tempted to give you's all the best bits of the second part now

She shouted "Djhakarta is coming" and leapt from the top of the buliding face first onto a car below. Class.

Was kind of hoping that scene had been directed by Patrick Stewart.
