RE: Episode 2 Discussion
Dalby had better keep his head down as well - it was he who gave Connie the code/password to intercept and delete Lucas's phone conversation about the identity of the mole, and so made it necessary to kill Ben!

RE: Episode 2 Discussion
So I've just been re-watching this episode again and honestly, my enjoyment is inhibited by the stupidity of that nickname for Urazov. Honestly, it makes me laugh every time.

It's a tribute to their acting ability that they could keep a straight face while saying it!

Why did they need nicknames anyway - I can't recall any in other eps.

Oh definitely - and the hit man being called Flopsy. "Flopsy has just entered the cafe." LOL

I hope Harry gets Ruth back on the Grid without too much trouble. After all, Mace started it.

I think they did it in other eps as well.. Assets, e.g. Rangefinder for Ros, also had codenames.

They always use code names - Tranquility in S7E1. They always do Bravo One, Alpha One, etc. It's to keep their identities safe I think - if someone intercepts their conversation they have no way of necessarily knowing who is being talked about.

I should have made the distinction between codenames. targets etc and daft nicknames like Thumper and Flopsy. Sorry - me being over critical.
There isn't much I can criticise in Spooks, so I went overboard when I found something!

RE: Episode 2 Discussion
To be fair, there are examples where they don't do it either, think Khordat in 7.4, or Meynell in 7.5. That's just because they were the episodes I watched most recently.

It's just because of that damn Disney bunny with the big dumb foot. Plus it's Ros saying it, which just makes it sound even funnier.

RE: Episode 2 Discussion
Ros saying it, with a straight face. And then she goes for the punchline:

Lucas: The hitman is Gosguly Garadanow, he runs drugs and girls out of the club, an old army buddy of Thumper.
Ros: I think we'll know him as flopsy.

LOL
