SPOOKS tonight

[sfxmum]

so you know back on on beeb at 9
apparently there is a lot of interest in this

Agree deep fat fryer most shocking TV moment ever - I fell off the sofa.
Did anyone watch the second half on BB3 straight after?

I missed the deep fat fryer thing as only found Spooks last year. What heppened? Surely they didnt SHOW a death by deep fat fryer on the Beeb??

no that was series one - might even have been one of the earliest episodes.

episode no 2 Series 1 - they didn't actually show anything (camera cut away at the last minute). Very OMG moment though.

Especially as is was Lisa Faulkner and you thought she would be in it for a while, being the most well-known person in the cast at the time.

But ShrinkingViolet, the most memorable TV moments are the ones your imagination completes for you. Like Miss Haversham going up in smoke when I watched Great Expectations as a little'un.

Marvellous editing. Perfectly put together episode, in fact. Set up who audience think will be a major character then fry them...

Yes it got me hooked.

and then the bomb right at the very end of series 1 going to blank screen with no credits - i ran through to DH gibbering "but they can't do that, they can't do that!"

Blimey yes, I'd forgotten that. I seem to remember sitting on the edge of the sofa yelling 'nooooo! You can't DO that to me.'

according to sources Rupert is extremely proud of his lovely bottom....

Can you name your sources, Julesrose? I agree, though, he should be immensely proud. Dervla Kirwan is one lucky woman!! ( ) )

Sorry, Chipbutty but in response to that I can't resist posting ))(( for anyone who has seen the film "You, Me and Everyone We Know."

I missed Rupert's bum because I was making hot chocolate for DH - curses.

Oh yes the bomb - that was horrific wasn't it? They're very keen on killing people off.

PatsyCline - if you are stil keen to see the aforementioned posterior, there is a still of it on Rupertpenryjones dot com!

Thank you very much, ChipButty. I have just seen Rupert's bottom on YouTube in its full glory (sorry a still wasn't enough).

My DH has a lovely bum - it's a shame that time will eventually take its toll and it will never have been captured forever in a BBC flagship series (now available on DVD from all major outlets).

Sexy Rupert reading the bed time story on C Beebies this week - well he was last night. Not quite as excting as stopping global terrorist plots, I grant you. But a lovely surprise at the end of dreary Night Garden for all us mum's with toddlers!!

oooh yes, it was a ovely surpirise to see him last night.... shame DH was here too.....

I too had nightmaresa bout the chip fryer incident... but have got over it now... i've never seen so many spies die so regularly... James Bond never had this trouble?!

and.. i think Zaff is toast.... new agents needed for new series so they have to kill off at least one of the old ones....

Lady Helen, I BLUSHED when he said "my name's Rupert, and if you want some pumpkin soup and a bedtime story with me, keep watching Cbeebies".

Cos I really would like that, actually.

Have we discussed Jo's new haircut? Jury is out in the Lapin household... great bone structure, but a little TOO severe?

I am LOVING Bridget Jones' mum as the new member of the team!

I had to giggle at the idea of this very nice a middle aged lady having a secret cavern under her house, just like a proper James Bond villain.

Bedtime story very entertaining for me. Ds unimpressed, though.

To add further to the gossip, I read somewhere that the actor who plays Zaff is married to/with the actress who plays Jo.
I really liked Zaff's character but fear he is definitely dead.
Presumably,Gemma Jones' character will replace Ruth on an intellectual level.

Yup, they are married!

it soes look a little like she was attacked with a lawnmower! I cold wear my hair like that.....untli there is a hint of rain, then I'd look like the lead singer from "simply Red"... erm.. mick Hucknell.
