Liked Tom more than Adam, hope they don't get rid of Harr:o:o

Radish?

I'm always secretly hoping that Tom will pop up at some point to save day (sorta of like Tony Almeda did on 24). I know it's corny...but oh man, that would be awesome.

Excellent season (series). I was worried about the whole continuous storyline thing, but it worked well. I'll be really disappointed if Joe doesn't return, she turned into an excellent character.

I was quite dissapointed with the way they ended it. Apart from that, everything was great right up until the point where they did the cliffhanger.

Why couldn't they have just tied it up like they did when Adams wife (R.I.P) was rescued from the guys at the mansion thing.

That would be awesome if that how's Tom would come back, he had a more serious role compared to Adam.

I'm hoping Jo will survive and Adam will go nuts on those terrorists.

Spooks is probably currently one of the best program's on TV. Since I went to University more or less when the new series started it was a bit difficult for me to watch them all and follow it, but now I am home for Christmas I have found time to watch all 10 episodes of season 6. I loved every second of each episode!

I was particularly gutted when Zaf went "missing" as he was such a cool character, I had faith that he would come back though towards the end of the series, but we just found out he had been killed (in a pretty sick way). The ending of the last episode was just annoying as well, the way they just left it like that for another year!

Overall though the series was great, and it took a new format this year. The series was like one whole massive episode, whereas previously one (or perhaps a two parter) made up one storyline. It was a different approach, and it worked.

I need more Spooks, soon!

Oh, and by the way Radish. I totally agree with you, Jo with long hair was freaking hot...now she looks to laddish for me.

Justin: "Hi Neil, thanks for coming back to answer our q's, we have missed you! all your sins are forgiven! Any news on the next series of Spooks on BBC1 and any idea why the DVD of series 6 which was due for release in Feb has been put back to November?"

Neil: The new series of Spooks has started filming this week, I'm told. This time round it's going back to the old format - eight self-contained episodes.As for the DVD of series six, it's been pushed back to coincide with the broadcast of the new series

Great to know Rappy! Loving the original self-contained format; the BBC does it well. More specifically, Kudos who are the production company behind Spooks, Hustle, Life on Mars... all glossy UK dramas that really give the American imports a run for their money.

Filming Starts on Spooks Spin off

Filming has started on a Spooks spin-off for BBC Three.

The new spy drama, titled Spooks: Code 9, is currently being shot in Bradford and will hit screens later this year.

The drama is set in 2013, when London has been evacuated following a nuclear attack, and MI5 must establish field offices across the UK.

The series, starring Joanne Froggatt, focuses on the six young spies recruited to help set up the new Field Office 19.

'Action-packed'

She plays Hannah, who leads a team of rookie spies which includes a mathematician, ex-police officer, a former criminal gone straight, a junior doctor and a student.

Producer Chris Fry said: "After the bomb, MI5 needed new officers with ability, dedication and potential on the streets as soon as possible.

"With the exception of their team leader, none of them have been in the field for more than four months and they will continually find themselves in situations beyond their experience and training - they'll only succeed through grit and determination."

BBC Fiction controller Jane Tranter said: "It's brilliant to have the chance of looking into the future of Spooks with Spooks: Code 9 on BBC Three.

"The series promises to be as entertaining and action-packed as Spooks on BBC One has always been, whilst bringing a more maverick, younger perspective."

An Al Qaeda cell kidnap a British soldier and demand that Remembrance Sunday be cancelled as it is an affront to all dead Muslim soldiers. MI5 hunt the cell but when they secure the release of former MI5 officer Lucas North in a secret spy swap, the team realise Al Qaeda have a new sponsor - the emerging super power Russia, and there's a bomb.

Can't wait :happy:

Radish?

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
