How are you going to watch Spooks this Monday, 20th? - Tea Lady - 15-09-2010 05:32 PM
This was a thead that we opened for S8 and was quite good fun so I thought I would bring it back to life for S9. It's just meant as a bit of fun. So tell us how you are going to prepare for 9.1, what extremes will you have to go to, to watch it, etc etc.
For example, last year JHyde was going to listen to Mozart's Requiem to get herself in the mood. Beatriz was going to sit down with home made pop-corn and have a lollypop. Almh was stuck at some afterschool meeting about a trip to CERN.
I will start us off. I will be sitting down again, with a bottle of white Burgundy to hopefully bring Harry and Ruth some luck (it didn't work last year!) I was hoping Mr TL would be working, but unfortunately he will be at home, so I will have to mentally prepare myself for silly questions and comments. I think I will also get up late Monday, to make the day go quicker.

This thread is massively rubbing salt in my wounds. lol.
On Monday 20th I will be sitting in front of my TV trying to encourage the magical TV fairies to connect my TV to the outside world just for an hour or so.

I've been putting a lot of thought into Monday night, because unfortunately it is the busiest night of the week for us. One of my sons has Scouts which finishes at 9pm (rats and double rats) so obviously someone has got to go and get him. Sooo, if my hubby goes out to get him, I can sit and watch the opening in peace, then rewind it back to the beginning (God bless the person who invented V+/Sky +) and watch it again, pretending that it's been on pause all that time!
Genius, hey? And of course I will record it and watch it again after the news.It is also the day after my birthday so the chances of some decent alcohol and a box of chocolates are high! Unlike Ruth I can't see a problem with chocolates on my birthday!

as just braggingly posted elsewhere - in front of the HUGE sports screen in my local pub. With lots of Guinness, nuts, and the other Berlin Spooks nuts
Can you imagine Lucas' face in HUGE (not to speak of other parts, and steamy kitchen table scenes
)

How many fellow Spooksnuts will there be Tyger? Are you going to do this every week?

counted 5 so far, and I'm just putting out the word. Wouldn't mind having screen (and Lucas) all to myself though. Once it's on other customers will watch too, I'm sure. And the plan is to make that a weekly event for the next 2 months
so if ever you find yourselves in Berlin, on a Monday, with nothing to do

Will be shutting myself in the lounge, hogging my dad's big comfy chair, kicking everyone else out (unless they stay silent throughout), and forewarning everyone that if they dare to upset the TV recording I will be very upset.
Prior to watching, I'll probably be hopping about the place though
Might use my hyperactivity and go for a run for once

Am hugely grateful that it is on Mondays as I am doing drama rehearsals the rest of the week
Will be curling up in the lounge and recording at the same time

I've got a 6:30pm Physics lecture (which is being done by Professor Brian Cox!!!
) in London, and I doubt it'll make it back in time 
So sadly I'll be watching it on iPlayer as soon as it's finished, and then catching up on all the sleep I missed due to Spooks/Spooks related hyperness in my double free/Chemistry lesson the next day

Thanks for this thread Tea Lady!!! I thought of it last week. It's a great idea
I'm in the same situation as Nitrus, well, sort of, so I'll be in front of my laptop hoping my fairy godmother appears and let me watch Spooks and and have an internet connection.

I'm going to move to Berlin instead of Barcelona, I have decided right now
