Hi. Bit of a bummer about Spooks, but tbh it was never going to be the same for me without Lucas (although I suppose it does put an end to any hypothesising about flying unicorns...Sad).

Kudos clearly realised that after 3 years of RA they were never going hit the same totty quotient!

TheSmallPrint · 11/08/2011 17:19

agreed, Dimitri was never going to cut it for the slightly more mature discerning viewer.

budge up Small!

TheSmallPrint · 11/08/2011 21:33

Quiet in here tonight. I may have to get up stairs early to get a good nights sleep, don't think I'll get much over the next few days.

DumSpiroSpero · 11/08/2011 21:34

How 'posh' do you go with your camping, Small? I must admit we don't exactly rough it Grin.

TheSmallPrint · 11/08/2011 21:50

Well i'll have a duvet and pillow that's for sure!

DumSpiroSpero · 11/08/2011 22:22

We've got a full height inflatable king size bed! Makes it a bit easier.

SupermassiveLBD · 12/08/2011 17:21

Sorry I haven't been round. We all have the 'flu Sad

DumSpiroSpero · 12/08/2011 17:24

Oh no Massive - but never mind help in on its way!

I won't be around until tomorrow either - we have a child-free night and morning!

SupermassiveLBD · 12/08/2011 17:34

Things look even bleaker for JP, I fear. He has got to stop doing this to us, the naughty man Sad

Hope you enjoy your child-free time, Spiro

DumSpiroSpero · 12/08/2011 18:59

JP - What have you heard then - haven't been online much today?

I was hoping for a lengthy extraction with lots of teasing glimpses and the promise of a return in Season 3 (although I didn't really expect it but hope springs eternal Sad)

PassTheTwiglets · 12/08/2011 19:04

Just a quick request for no spoilers, please!

, will be back later. Just got home and a mountain of washing etc. to sort out. Massive, so sorry you are all ill, hope it doens't last too long :(

PassTheTwiglets · 12/08/2011 19:05

ps. put your hand up if you met David Tennant in the last few days... :o

Wow, Twigs, how did you swing that????

SupermassiveLBD · 12/08/2011 19:14

Frightfully sorry Twigs, saw your post about spoilers too late - have asked MN to remove it.

SupermassiveLBD · 12/08/2011 19:17

Have to call it a night, too, talk to you all tomorrow.

DumSpiroSpero · 12/08/2011 19:17

Noooooooo! I was expecting him to be written out but really hoped it would be him retiring with a new identity for the sake of his daughter.

I actually almost feel like crying over that.

I think it's the right move for RA though - they seem to have really 'Americanized' it and some of the clips I've seen come across as very sleazy purely for the sake of it.

Right have a good evening all - glad you had a good time Twigs and get well soon Massive.

PassTheTwiglets · 12/08/2011 20:31

Massive, no worries, your post was deleted before I read it. Spiro's reaction to it wasn't though :) Never mind though, I pretty much think I knew anyway, just wanted to avoid confirmation, 'tis all!

DumSpiroSpero · 12/08/2011 21:29

Sorry Twigs Sad. Hopefully you missed the details at least.

PassTheTwiglets · 12/08/2011 23:10

That's alright, Spiro - don't worry about it! I should've mentioned it sooner, not your fault at all! In any case, I just read the details on Facebook Will dl it tomorrow but not sure when I'll get to watch it.

DumSpiroSpero · 13/08/2011 10:44

I didn't know anything apart from Massive's post but have just looked at the whole episode's worth of screencaps via a link on Twitter.

RA is in it a fair bit by the look of it, but am so disgruntled at the moment I'm not sure I'm even going to bother watching it tbh. Sad

DumSpiroSpero · 13/08/2011 10:44

Massive - how are you today? Hope you're feeling a bit better.

SupermassiveLBD · 13/08/2011 13:35

Much better thanks,Spiro, in fact almost human.

I was terribly upset about JP myself, I actually did cry, and and he is not my absolute first favourite. So a slap for me too, please.

Crawled out of bed today, everyone still blotto so stuck the telly on, and who should greet my bleary red eyes but a PLFW. It was one of the Gizzy-less S3 episodes. Another slap for me now as I sat and watched, out of nostalgia for the setting. Is there no hope for me?

How is everyone else today? Twiggy, tell us more about your Momentous Meeting!
