What other TV do you watch? (2)

[Naivety]

Did anyone see Page Eight last night with Bill Nighy and Rachel Weiss? It got some mixed comments on Twitter but on the whole it was extremey good. Brilliant cast of course, there are few finer actors around at the moment who are better than Bill Nighy. Watching it made me think that maybe Kudos is right to call a halt to Spooks, because there seems to be a new genre of Spy thrillers being made which are more Le Carre in atmosphere. Whereas Spooks has become less credible over the past three series, Page Eight seemed more poignant.

'The Hour' which has just finished, also had an underlying spy theme. It too, despite some dodgy script writing in places, had an edgier, elegant feel to it. Good acting too.
