Is that NW's episode?
Yes it is. In which case, US fans, mark your diaries for 4 March 2011!

Sorry if I caused any confusion. That episode actually aired in Canada last year! Not sure why they aired it there first. It is really good. It's running here in the U.S. next week? What network? BBCA?
Oh sorry, I see now that you wrote it would be on BBCA. Hooray!

No, no, langley. Its OK. I knew about Canada. After I stopped hyperventilating
I realized that you had probably seen it in some other way. I am a little confused as to why it is playing both the US and Canada first? It is not the natural order of things and it only adds to my confusion. BBCA says that "we" are only in the 2nd season. Must have been interpolated from elsewhere.

This is not the first time that new episodes of Law & Order :UK have aired in Canada first, months ahead of the UK. I think it has something to do with a Canadian broadcasting company being one of the investors of the show.
For "ID", if it airs in the US on 4 March 2011, it will be way ahead of the UK which will only air that episode on 21 March 2011.
As for the number of series, I think in the US, they doubled up the UK Series 1 (7 episodes)and 2 (6 episodes) and renamed it Series 1 for the US market, and similarly for Series 3 and 4. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that typically for the US TV market, a series has at least 12 to 13 episodes.
Nicola gives a performance in Law & Order : UK "ID" (drama) which is very different from her performance in Being Human "The Longest Day" (comedy). These performances really showcase the tremendous range which this magnificent actress has!

I'm really looking forward to this episode now. It did confuse me as to why they were still filming Law & Order UK in December (when I accidentally got myself pushed out of the way by fake policeman at St Pancras station) but the NW episode had already been shown in Canada. I was hoping that my "shoulder" would be in the same episode as Nicola, but alas, that does not appear to be possible.

I hope it's okay to post this here, but there's a really wonderful interview with Nicola (about Spooks) in this following link.

This is my favorite interview with NW ever! It starts out with RA. Sorry if this was posted somewhere else but I didn't see it.

That was a lovely interview, and a nice bit of writing about what is great about Spooks. This is a good look for Nicola, too. Wish they'd put her in jeans in front of the camera - I'm sure that would finish Harry off!

Thanks for the link guys. That is a great interview. Loved the desk lamp comment.

Sorry, Goldrush70, I didn't realize you'd posted the same link a few minutes earlier - next time I will be sure to hit "refresh" in my browser! DogSoSmall, I agree about her look - I love her in jeans and a blazer! I WISH they'd put Ruth in something more youthful like that!
