There were several words which would have been ...well... they're words you wouldn't even hear on NYPD Blue.

:) Whoa Clinkeroo. Eeek, and NYPD Blue has that 37 or whatever deal allowance, and you wouldn't hear them on there? :)

Sheesh.

OK, that was a little thick on my part. It makes Spooks sound like a foul mouthed show, and it truly isn't. When they do use sorted language they use it sparingly and for dramatic purposes. I love NYPD Blue, or at least I did when it was fresh, but epithets loose their power when they're used like a blanket.

Oh, I know that. Language used for that reason can only help the show I think. Looking forward to much more of it. :)

No "MI-5, Volume 2" for us in the US yet :)

Nothing shows up on Amazon, not even a potential release date.

If that's not bad enough we have to watch series 3 in a butchered format with only 3/4 of the show intact. (Provided they are actually going to show the series in the states) :)

I'm not sure we're even going to get it at all. If the people at A&E had any sort of brains whatsoever they would definitely pick up the new series, and let it be known that they have. Instead we hear nothing about it at all.

Also I hear that Series 3 features a lot less episodes with Tom in it (might just be a rumor). We'll just have to wait and see.

Really? I thought it was Keely who was leaving halfway through.

They left apparently because they're having a baby together. Hmm....I like both of their characters, I hope the show won't suffer as a result....

In my opinion Tom pretty much is the show. Can't see how they're going to get around that. Keeley would be a big loss too. I guess we'll just have to wait for it to play itself out and see how it goes.

We can't lose both!

Then we'd just be stuck with Danny, I believe, gahh.

Yeah Danny is not so great, but at least we possibly might still have Harry, and with any luck we'll have some good new characters.

True, he's fine.

Danny just comes off as irritable, occasionally clueless and I guess I'm just bothered by him.

LOL. I'll have to remember to watch for that next time I watch an epsiode, which should be soon. :)
