RE: Peter Firth #2 - Nixie - 24-03-2011 08:59 PM
Would also love to! But from Oz it might need to be for more than "a drink". I have a friend who regularly goes to London to attend "The Professionals" conventions. Do we have any event organisers here who could do a "Spooks" convention? After 9 seasons, I reckon it warrants it! After all, "The Professionals" only had 4 seasons - and those were in the late 70s. Just think, we could have guest appearances from actors/writers/directors past and present, interesting presentations from fans, visits to sites of filming ... Hey, perhaps we could do a 10th anniversary convention?

The trouble with a con is costings, hiring a venue, then you generally need to offer some form of cash incentive to your guests.
Making it central enough for people to get to, somewhere for people to stay fairly close by etc etc
But it's a blooming good idea!

Ah! Don't rain on my parade! The cool calm voice of reaon
Maybe we can just do a Spooks Forum gathering with a whole lot of activities - anyone have a nice big house and a hospitable nature? Or know of one we can hire?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained ...

Well, then we'll just have to have another get together to celebrate you being here, xRuthx!!! Any excuse for downing a few beers by the side of the river...!!

If the TV guide is correct, Peter's episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (US TV series) is going to be shown on Wednesday 30th March, 11pm, Channel 5.
Episode name is "Identity". Wasn't Nicola's episode of Law and Order UK last week called Identity or ID??? Spooky powers at work here!!!!
RE: Peter Firth #2 - Obsession - 25-03-2011 09:47 AM
I wish I'd already been online before I came over last year... then I could have met you gals as well... I'd love to come over, but I just can't afford it this year...maybe next year
I didn't know Nicola was in Law and Order UK...
Back to Peter... mustn't loose sight of the gorgeous man that makes this thread... Does anyone have a copy of White Angel I could borrow? I don't want to buy something that I might only watch once. If I like it, then I'll buy it.... I could make it worth your while...

Oh, you won't only want to watch it once, Obsession - Peter's so outstanding in it, you'll want to watch it many times. As I've said in the past, you have to totally ignore the production value - it was made for tuppence ha'penny, and it shows. Plus most of the other actors are pretty bad. Just concentrate on the Firthster!
I'm happy to lend mine to you. PM me your address.

I've got to warn you, it's pretty bad (but that sums up the whole series IMHO!!!) ...but Peter plays an interesting character.
