Hi everyone :)

[Simone]

Hi, I'm Simone and a long time lurker. Recently I decided to join and now I thought it'd be fair to introduce myself.

I'm also a long time fan of Spooks. Of course with it only being on TV here recently I couldn't know about the show when it started airing. But I discovered the DVDs early 2004 as I'm always browsing amazon.co.uk for good quality UK productions. I love especially BBC productions. Anyway, so I bought season 1 & 2. If I remember correctly s03 DVD wasn't out yet but I did buy that one as soon as it came out as well. I had also just discovered Matthew Macfadyen in the trailer for "In My Father's Den" and he was fast becoming my favourite actor. Around the same time I "discovered" Keeley Hawes in Our Mutual Friend and Wives and Daughters. Seeing the 2 on Spooks made me proper fans of them as well as the show. I loved Danny too.

Series 3 Spoiler: show

So when all 3 were gone at the end of s03 I thought I'd stop watching. Not because I didn't love the show but I couldn't see how it could survive and it being very difficult to get a hold of the show it seemed like a good time to drop out.

Anyway, I never really stopped thinking about Spooks (and Peter Firth) and I did a massive catch up of S04-06 when I heard that Richard Armitage would join. Now having Zatoo Online TV and access to BBC1 I was very happy to catch S07 and S08 live on TV while it aired. I own now all of the DVDs and am currently re-watching them.

I can't wait for s09.

Sorry that this got so long. This is a huge forum and I don't know how I can ever catch up but I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and sharing in one or the other discussions.
