Great programme - has loads of digs at Bliar and co. First series was seriously anti-government and pretty voilent as well for the Beeb
-
what interested me about spooks was instead of glamorizing the role like in a James Bond film they make the life of a spook look as much a mess as working on a public sector IT project
rather them than me

I know - shocking wasn't it! One of those vivid scenes that made you think what it would actually be like - Mrs Galt turned a very interesting shade of green! Really surprised they got away with that one.Originally posted by zeitghostYes.
Still haven't got over that woman having her hand fried...
And then she had her head fried.

It is generally pretty good. But the episode a couple of weeks ago where they were chasing bombers was a liitle silly. They never seemed to carry a firearm even thougn they knew they would be faced with firearms. And as for a spook crawling around in secret with his phone switched to loud "bring bring" rather than vibrate - I don't think so.Comment
