We get it here too, and I just haven't been able to get get into it. It has nice production values, at least.

First series was good, it's gone gradually (and now not so gradually) downhill since that woman got her head dunked in the deep fryer.

yeah the first series was absolutley exellent - have it on dvd (and only cost a fiver w00t) - but i stopped watching soon after the second series started for no real reason... now when this new season started i've made an effort to watch it again and was quite amazed to find this is the fourth series already :eek:
so i was also quite shocked that none of the cool characters i liked (and got to know) from season 1 were there (apart from Harry of course), but i did miss out the apparently mediocre middle two seasons, so i guess thats a bonus :P

Strange.... I skipped those two as well and was shocked to find it was the fourth series already. (I miss the characters too)

My parents have been watching this Elizabeth thing the last two times it's been on so they're taped on DVD for me to watch at some point. Don't give anything anyway! *closes eyes, cover ears and starts singing* :p

Ah crap, I forgot about that. Is it only on Friday (or was it Saturday?) nights?

Thursdays actually :p I'm not sure which one you mean but both have been on the last two Thursdays.

If you're talking about Spooks, I really don't know how you'll get to watch them. There don't seem to be repeats on other channels; if there are their website says nothing about them. You might be okay just starting from the next episode but I don't know...

On another note, I just found out what happened to Tom :eek:

You really want to know? It would ruin it for you if you get round to watching them....

I know but I need to catch up on the last two Spooks! There's 2 hours of my evening planned for me....

Does anyone here like 24? It's a vaguely similar kind of idea and full of action, twists, totally unrealistic but addictively gripping plots etc. American. I can't wait for the next series. I missed the first two though before my parents got me hooked. And now I know too much about what happens for it to be the same :(

well last thing i remember was he was framed for murder or something and left to die on some beach... after that i don't know.
actually, i'm renting season 2 off amazon soon, so don't tell me!
(or was that season 3?)

catch up before next thursday and at least you'll be able to watch the show after the elizabeth thing... if that's still on then :confused:

meh, could never get into 24, same way some people can't get into spooks. i probably would but i never caught the first two episodes and it didn't make much sense after that :(

i didn't say it was your fault (though evidently it is ;)), just that you're missing out on a great show :rolleyes:

Buy the DVD

Last weeks episode seemed a bit idiotic but they're "swarn enemies" so lets just stick them in the same room and don't put handcuffs on the terrorist. Oh look he's killed him what a surprise

Heh, that's about all I know. I thought you said you hadn't seen season 2...

I'm good at just going along with stuff. If you ask too many questions you miss what's happening and about each five minutes the plot changes so it doesn't matter if you've missed earlier episodes really :p I started on the third episode of the third series and I was fine!

You do really need to stop yourself questioning the plot though. I'm good at ignoring flaws but my dad always points them out and ruins stuff for me! :mad: :p

i didn't think i had :confused:

ooh yeah i remember now... series 1 ended with the bomb in tom's house, and i remember the conclusion to that, so i must have seen series 2 :p

great, only one series to rent now then :P

heh my dad does the same, but nowadays he's been 'trained' to keep his mouth shut till at least the end of the show :p

btw, off topic, how did those courseworks go the other night? (msn is being screwy at the mo for me)

Well, I could have been born when my parents were still working in London.... but noooo. They just had to get married first. :rolleyes:

And anyway, who cares? I don't even have a TV at home and I'm not missing all too much... except a few TV shows.... ;)
