What did everyone think? I thought it was fantastic

Totally didn't see her death coming though, but they way they did it was brilliant. Best acting I've seen for ages.

I loved it. The first episoe was great and this one was even better although Helen's death was totally unexpected. I REALLY want Tom to tell his bloomin g/f about the spy business!

they are trying to copy 24 which is bloody brilliant and much better then Spooks.

its a cross between digging up an old showing of Bugs, mixing it with a little 24 and woo hoo, you've got a show about MI5.

I dunno, 24 is much more of a long running thing, and Spooks is individual plot lines/stories.

Also, I never got into 24 so dont like talking about it. I wish I watched the first episode!

Spooks is brilliant and that Tom is rather scrummy :D It was a biy yuk when Helen's arm got frazzled though :?

I thought Bugs was really cool aswell, although yesterday Will said "It was okay until they brought in that stupid guy out of Home & Away" [Craig McLaughlan]...but he was in it from the start! I really didn't expect Helen to die, I thought she was going to become a major character. When it was just about to happen, I thought some fellow spy-dudes were gonna come bursting in and shoot the lot of them - I didn't think it would actualy happen! And then they did her face too! That was just sickening!

Bugs was the best around at it's time aswell (I thought). It was Beckett, Roz and Ed. Theyn they became a Government thing and got some new chick and a different actor to play Ed. Went a bit downhill from there...

I never got to find out what happened in the end of Spooks as my (rather dippy) sister managed to switch off the VCR 10 minutes before the end [I had to tape it cos I was revising]. It stopped at the bit where Tom was having an argument with his bosses in the office saying "They killed one of our agents!"

What was the outcome of the story anyone???

Cheers,

24 has to be the best show on television ever!

The only problem is if you didn't see it from the beginning then it doesn't make any sense and becomes difficult to understand

craig mclaughlin was in Neighbors not Home & Away as Kylies brother who got out of jail called Henry. He also had a Number 2 hit with Hey Mona with a band called Check 1-2 in around 1990. God knows where he is now.

No way, Scrubs on SkyOne is easily the best/funniest program on TV at the moment. Im also a big fan of ER but am watching that on E4.

Bugs was cool. I was gutted when the BBC pulled it! It was quality Saturday night viewing :)

24 and Spooks are both very good. Finally after months and months of crap, we get some decent shows.

Has anyone tried the Spooks Online thingy? I've signed up but can't make head nor tail of it yet...
