yes, i know its bugger all to do with Jasper & co, but I watched it tonight. anyone else really pi**ed off with the cliffhanger ending and that we have to wait till next year to find out whats next?

(To those outside of the UK, without the BBC or BBC America, Spooks is a TV drama about MI5)

We've got a program starting in the fall about MI5. Different name, wonder if it's the same show.

Hi Sam, afraid I haven't been watching Spooks but I did see the end of 24 last night - and that has been a complete waste of time. I really enjoyed the first series but we spent this series rolling around - I mean how many weirdos can one mans daughter encounter in just 24 hours. I was willing them all to be nuked by the end.

Sam - you really didn't miss much, but it was so bad it became compulsive. Balamory has more believable plots!

Sppoks has been on over here for about a month. I watched it for the first time last week. Fairly annoyed I hadn't watched it sooner. good show. Pretty intense!

It's on A&E Tuesday nights at 9pm central time. It looks good.

Nothing of the sort over here :(, although everyone is raving about the Alex Rider books (MI6 - Anthony Horowitz). I prefer Groosham Grange (book by the same author).

I like both! But the Alex Rider books are pretty samey by the third one.

I don’t watch Spooks, but I know that we got the second part of the ending the week after. To me, Spooks is (or was) the show after Jonathan Creek.

*giggle* I sent e-cards from the Balamory website to all my friends... well, if *I* have to have the theme song in my head all day, so must everyone else!

I like the Alex Rider. Harmless and good at the same time. I'm just wondering how many books it'll be before Alex gets with Sabina....

Trouble is as with any series I finish the current last book in the series only to want the next one....
