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.

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.

Isn't it also called MI-5?

Its awesome! I prefer it over many of its US equivilants like Navy NCIS, La femme nikita, CSI and JAG, seriously!

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.

    • 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.
