FYI: SPOOKS ON ABC AUSTRALIA

[Margaret]

Just received the following from the ABC (17/11/2009):

Dear Margaret

Thank you for your email regarding Spooks.

Series eight of Spooks is yet to be released in the UK. It is too early to confirm whether the ABC is securing the broadcast rights for this series, although it is likely we will owing to its popularity among our audience. Visit http://www.abc.net.au/tv regularly for updates. The ABC have the broadcast rights to repeat series five, six and seven however scheduling is yet to be considered.

Thank you for taking the time to write.


Kind regards

This response is a little worrying: seems "Auntie" does NOT know that the series IS currently showing in the UK. Maybe he means the DVD of Series 8???

I'll follow up and advise.
