RE: Spooks = Reality... Sort of?
Yeah almh, got the book a few weeks back but only started it. It's HUGE and the print tiny but it is the unofficial version. Let you know what I think when I really get started on it!
Yeah, Spooks vs reality: well the show has to condense storylines into 1 (or more) episode whereas of course agents from MI5 will not operate on that basis (unless life has imitated art). MI5 agents could as you know, spend months undercover just doing very little but of course the show can't really show that. Yeah, I meant to say about it being the original cast. In an interview with MM he said they got to meet former CIA and MI5 agents who were being very coy about what it was they did. I'm just glad the show went the way it did, because as you all probably know, Spooks was going to be like Teachers; in other words womanising, hard-drinking slobs, before senses were came to and it became the show we all know and love.......but I presume they have former intel people working as advisors on the show in order to maintain a degree of authenticity? |
