i thought I saw on wikipedia a few months ago that it was coming out with a series 7 after this next one, but at least for now nothing has been said about anything beyond that..we'll see at the end of this series. It has been on for a bit. They could have a near limitless amount of plotlines, however the same chars and new chars over and over again would get tired.

Series 6

A sixth series was commissioned by Jane Tranter, Head of Drama Commissioning at the BBC, by the time series 5 was announced, and will air in Autumn 2007. Rupert Penry-Jones has already said in interviews that series six is likely to be his last.

In a recent podcast, Guardian journalist Gareth McLean stated that series 6 of Spooks was to differ in format from those previous, prompting internet rumours that the show may move away from its one story per episode structure.

From the BBC Press Office Website: Critically acclaimed spy drama Spooks is back and MI5's Section D grapples with more explosive and original storylines than ever before.

Growing mistrust between the British, American and Iranian governments culminates in a series of high-risk operations at home, pushing the Section to its very limits.

As Iran's race to become a nuclear power impacts on British and American security, the distinction between friend and foe becomes ever-more blurred.

Harry and his team start to question exactly whose agenda they're working to and who they can trust ? both on and off the Grid.

Meanwhile, the electric atmosphere between Adam and Ros comes to a head, but things are complicated further by Adam's ongoing and dangerous affair with a key asset inside the Iranian Embassy.

Harry gains a new friend on the Grid when he recruits old MI5 colleague Connie (Gemma Jones) as desk officer. Clever, and with plenty of old-school tricks up her sleeve, she might just be able to fill the void left by Ruth's departure.

Rupert Penry-Jones, Hermione Norris and Peter Firth return to head up Section D as officers Adam, Ros and Harry. Raza Jaffrey, Miranda Raison and Hugh Simon also return as Zaf, Jo and Malcolm. Guest stars include Matthew Marsh and Robert Glenister

Rogue Spooks

Following the success of the BBC Three Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood the controller of BBC Three, Julian Bellamy, has announced a Spooks spin-off, Rogue Spooks. The series will feature a unit of young MI5 recruits who follow a different rule book to the main agency. Rogue Spooks is, like its predecessor, created by David Wolstencroft, and developed by the same team at production company Kudos. Rogue Spooks is due to be broadcast in late 2007.

Spooks normally starts in September every year, so I don't think it will be any different this year.

I can't wai:D:D

One of my fav shows :D

Whoo! I'd better quickly catch up with series 5 before it airs.

However, from the first two episodes I've seen of series 5, it is the weakest series so far.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
