Just what I was thinking, what an amazing episode, can;t wait for next year. I hope no one dies but that woman was pure psycho, great story and an awesome cliffhanger.

[SamNeeds]

I wasnt too impressed with it. I liked the end though. It just seemed a bit flat.

I'm going to download it with IMP though, and watch it again! :)

But yeah, if they are to get it back to its best, they need Tom and Zoe!

[Stealthy_Singh]

How good is the imp? is there any indication as to when the bbc will roll it out to the public?

As far as the episode goes I think it was great, OMG what a cliffhanger.

Please Harry don't die on me now!

[thetechroom]

I hope Adam doesn't die, and I hope Harry doesn't get shot, and woah what an ep, there I was thinking what a boring end to the series and everything kicks off in the last few mins, what a clever woman!!!

iMP is great, and most importantly, handy. Whenever i miss something, set it to download, 30mins or so later, watching the programe. Overall a very good app.

However, no "public release" yet, or as far as i am aware of, until Dec/Jan time - Although i may be completley wrong on that. Thats the trial period - Not when they say it'll be done, and out.

[ElectricDemon]

OMG Adam! that just sucks! :cry:

Can't wait for next year.. I'm definitely ordering the dvd boxsets, Spooks > All.

Yep, over in the US it's called MI-5 because the CIA/NSA are called "Spooks".

@ PeteWhite - Did you make that DVD cover?, because they are usually void of any info that the boxset contains on the outside (episode info etc ....) because the last 3 boxsets are like that.

Radish?

Yep, I made the cover. There is only a small intro to each episode, nothing to spoil the episode.

Bringing this baby back from the dead :cool:

Found some info on Wikipedia about the next series :woot: -

Series 5

The solution to the series 4 cliffhanger is yet to be decided, but the BBC has confirmed that a fifth series of Spooks will be shown in late 2006.

Its storylines will include a home-grown Al Qaeda cell planning an attack on London; the British government selling nuclear technology to Gulf states; environmental terrorists staging an attack on London to demonstrate the danger of Global Warming; and the US administration selling arms to African dictators.

It will also see Anna Chancellor and Tim McInnerny resuming their roles. But this time Mace and Harry are set to come to serious blows, with Mace using Harry's burgeoning friendship with Ruth to pressurise Harry into supporting a cover-up operation regarding the torture of suspected terrorists.

Plots by episode

* Episode 1 MI5 supremo Harry Pearce (Peter Firth) and team leader Adam Carter (Rupert Penry-Jones) ? who both survived the series 4 cliff-hanger which saw them become the target of an ex-MI5 sniper ? soon begin to suspect that rogue members of the British 'Establishment' may themselves be sabotaging the very system they sought to uphold in order to bring about a radical change of government. The growing crisis necessitates that the team work closely with head-strong, high-flying MI6 agent Ros Myers, played by new cast member Hermione Norris (Wire in the Blood, Cold Feet), who soon makes her presence felt on The Grid and instantly generates an undeniable spark with Adam. With guest appearances from Robert Glenister as the Home Secretary, and John Castle as Jocelyn Myers, Ros' father ? a wealthy and powerful industrialist who holds the key to the conspiracEpisode 8 8 sees Lennie James (Buried, Snatch) guest star as Bishop David Newman, a disillusioned government advisor on religious affairs who becomes involved with Christian extremism and a plot to assassinate known Islamic terrorists. In February 2006, the BBC denied claims in the media that they were dropping this plot.

And a series 6 is already commissioned by the BBC, bloody aw:happy:happy:

Radish?

[Martyn]

Good news! I love Spooks :D!

I did hear some rumours though that series 5 would be the last, because it gives away to much information about MI5.

[Syphonic]

Excellent! One of my friends plays an Islamic terrorist in an ep that was due to air at Christmas.

[Si Veteran]

YES! :woot:

I miss Spooks!

[SamNeeds]

Yeah!! Woooh!! Sounds good.
