The actor that played Walker wasn't American either?! He definitely had the best accent then

He's not American either - he's from Wiltshire!
And Price/Sarah Caulfield are Irish - WTF??? Do they think that the English can't tell the difference between an Irish and an American accent?!?!

What does Spooks have against real Americans?! I was watching series 6 behind the scenes the other day and Bob was English too?! I know Christine was but have all the other American's been english? How odd!
Sorry thats so off topic lol but my mind is blown!

stil not half as bad as Brad Pitt trying to speak Irish... or almost any other American actor..
I could understand the actors' union hesitation about hiring from across the pond but surely it would lend a more authentic touch (since apparently we can't do without CIA involment
)

We are rather drifting from the topic. Try and keep it to episode 8 please. You can start an accents thread in the general discussion forum if you want.

Welcome odyssey45!
I don't think Russell survived the blast, he was in the same room as the bomb

I was thinking that since they were playing Who's Going To Blink First, Ros should have had Harry put the phone system back on and untie Price's hands so he could turn off the bomb.
Maybe he could only trigger the bomb but not turn it off, I don't know but that did go through my mind.
Also, Price didn't look as panicky as I thought someone would be, knowing what was about to happen. He just kept looking over at the bomb but not too much distress.

Lucas told Harry that the bomb disposal guys said it was too late to disarm the device. Somewhat questionable imo, but, hey, this is tv and we do need that "willing suspension of disbelief" thing.
RE: Episode 8 Discussion - almh - 30-12-2009 09:42 PM
That came up in another episode, can't remember exactly, when there had to be a minimum amount of time to disarm a bomb. I can't remember which one though... I hope I didn't just make that up
