Spooks

[Spartacus]

Are they leading up to Ruth Replacing Harry at the end of the season ?

Interesting thought

[lizzie]

Well it ain't going to be Jo replacing Harry, that's for sure

[Fear 'n boozin]

last night - why didn't they just cut the power? Or suspend their Virgin broadband account? I'm mean, they could have at least considered it, surely. And amenican air strikes on London?!?! They go too far.

[bignumber5]

i'm sure they said something about jumping servers 5 times per sec, and a panic room without a seperate back up power generator seems a tad pointless. Agreed on the US-threaten-airstrike-on-kensington bit, but then spooks has tended to push the silly boundary occasionally, that's part of the fun of it.

RIP Jo, some of the finest eye-candy to serve the nation ;-)

I am mightily pissed off they've killed her off. She was gorgeous. Every time she came on screen I would be mentally going "phwoar." It was one of the main reasons I've been watching. They'll be losing viewers after this. Damn damn damm and damn again.

[reetpetite]

I still watch it though doesn't have the same appeal since Adam got killed off.

Think you're up to the job? Apply here!

I think they have killed off too many people to be - ha ha - "credible" now.. And I seem to recall Jo was originally practically recruited off the street. She'd certainly been in dire peril so many times - especially at the end of a series - that it seems a tad harsh to now have had her shot by Ros...

Anyway, bring back Keeley Hawes!

[mockney piers]

Keeeeeeley. Oh yes. Actually I used to have a bit of a thing for Tom's bird in series one, but now she's half of the most irritating advert coiple since Gold Blend I may have to reassess.

Finally caught up with this one on Iplayer. The five servers a second was a bit of a red herring, the signal still has to get to those servers form 60ft underground meaning a very snippable solid cable to the local exchange, after all it was a panic room not a nuclear bunker!

[Fear 'n boozin]

too right MP! And as I have said, if they'd just 'bunker busted' them all, it would be Ros whose loss we wouldn't be mourning, rahter than the lovely Jo's. 'arry's loosing his touch.

EMP generator down the lift?

There are instructions on wikihow to make one so MI5 must have one kicking about.

[Fear 'n boozin]

Britian's best - confounded by closed lift doors.

Presumably you 2 are sending these posts from your mobiles while you are sat in folding chairs in positions 1 and 2 of the queue outside an upcoming star-trek convention, laughing together at our technological na?vety...

;-)

[Fear 'n boozin]

close, but Piers is at the Battlestar Galactica convention!

[mockney piers]

Oh frak, he's rumbled us.

As it goes I'm sure MI5 have stuff we haven't even dreamed of; scriptwiters however could probably do with a reminder to consider the obvious stuff first ;)

ooh my step brother is just starting his career in scriptwriing and he's he most pedantic sod I've met. He should send his CV spook's way.

That said, I love spook's for what it is, utterly utterly daft entertainment. Another 8 series please!!!!

Any nominations for replacing Jo, other than the return of Zoe obviously.

Fearne cotton as a spy, all dressed in pink?

[david_carnell]

I think we need someone who vaguely looks like they might pass the entrance exam - and that rules Cotton out.

How about a red-head? Now the Penry-Jones has gone the team is one ginger short.

Gillian Anderson anyone? How much does she charge these days now X-Files work is hard to come by?

[Fear 'n boozin]

I think they should train up the girl from the last episode. How about Jessica Hynes/Stevenson?

[mockney piers]

Ooh yes, and Simon pegg. It'd be great and then we could at least know where westand ragards spooks' tongue/cheek relationship.

Also be very happy with young Anderson.

If we're sticking to redheads then perhpas bring back maid Marion from the michael praed era robin hood, she were great she were. Or what about the original Leslie from brush strokes?

They could easily outros Ros, without all that weird staring at elfin terrorists mindtrick stuff 'this is not the cause you're looking for'.

[Fear 'n boozin]

elfin terrorists mindtrick stuff

> 'this is not the cause you're looking for'.

I think she uses a vulcan mind-meld whenever she says that. I'd never let her near me!

[Ted Max]

weird staring

= bit clumsy on the botox.

[SimonM]

(1) Judi Trott - aye she were that! Wonder what became of her?

(2) Kim Thomson - now in "Emmerdale"! And now pushing 50 so perhaps would huff and puff a bit running from Ros....

There's always Catherine Tate I suppose...:))

I even didn't realise Rupe was a ginge...

Tim Minchin?

[mockney piers]

Crack girl was kind of cute? A selfloathing sociopathic streak is probably ideal

for a career in spying.

Talking of which I think radio four is serialising the smiley novels soon. Best damn spy books ever written.
