    has anyone else been watching this? personally i think it's one of the better dramas on tv at the moment. one of the few on tv that isn't predictable - especially when it comes to getting rid of major characters.
    brilliant stuff, can;t wait for the next series.
    cheers

    On current form they'll bump Harry off in episode 1 of the next series.
    Its the only thing on TV that I make time to watch. Great stuff.

    I like the way that mobile phones work whenever needed and they can always get a good signal! I think that Ruth will be the next person to be the centre of things because over the last few outings she has been seen combing her hair and slowly applying lipstick - is she to become the new Zoe?

    Didn't think this series was as good as the first two (and now they've killed off/removed the three original main characters). The last episode was particularly good though.

    Missed last nights episode but I too have found this series dissapointing. Last series was (as much as anything is on TV TBH) unmissable.

    they have gone down hill since the great "fat frying" incident.Getting rid of the rest of the cast is tame in comparison

    Cheers batfink. I was looking forward to watching the 3rd series....I knew that Tom left after he proves his innocence but Danny and Zoe aswell? Won't be the same without Zoe :(

    That was one of the most shocking things I've seen on TV. I really didn't think that the girl would get killed. All part of what makes it a great series though.

    Michael.

    I've seen the first episode and a couple of others here and there. I'll have to wait for it to come out on DVD to watch the whole thing.

    I've loved this series which I've been watching for about the last 10 Mondays on BBC1 - which series is that?

    I was stunned when Danny died and I agree that it's well up to US drama standards (Sopranos, West Wing), although I suspect that if it were a US series, the dead characters would continue as ghosts.

    Keep them coming.

    Now you've really given the game away for Michael ;)

    Anyone ever get the interactive stuff to work properly after the show ? Mine always had sound problems so I couldn't hear much of what was going on.

    I did the interactive 'test' and failed abysmally to qualify as a spook. Quite reassuring really.

    I don't watch an awful lot of telly however Spooks is always on my shortlist. The things they do, can get away with and the processes and techology that they use seems to be more believable than some other spy type films/programs. I'm still not convinced that that Adam character isn't some kind of double agent though....

    any of you guys been watching LOST on channel 4. That is another one that is essential viewing for me. Due to my shifts I usually save 2 or 3 up on Sky+ and have a lost session with the wife one afternoon , i do this as it is on of the few series where i am nearly always wanting more when an episode ends...

    Good fun, well up to the usual quota of ministers having to resign but now that Ruth has gone :( are we to be protected by a couple of blonds :) and if so will we be safe in their hands:D?

    I watched the first series and started with the second. However, I missed a couple of episodes so stopped watching it altogether so that I'll wait for it's DVD release and not miss anything.
    It was originally wrote for something like 3 series, but dude to it's success, the network have got them to expand it to 5 I believe! Not sure if this is good, or if it's just going to be really stretched and weak.
