He then dropped off my radar altogether (I was into Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen - not pretty boys). When Spooks was first shown I watched part of the first episode and remember saying to myself "oh yes, Peter Firth" but then thinking Spooks was too far-fetched and didn't watch it again! It was killing time and watching 5.1 on 'on demand' TV that I sat up and took notice. That was back in March last year...and I've been hooked on PF, Harry and Spooks ever since. PF has a lovely 'lived in' look about him now.

This forum should really be called "Spooks Anonymous": my name is picard1109 and I'm a Spooks addict". And I don't want to be cured.

HAHA! Pretty much my story too although I do not remember him in the Doubledeckers. My husband does though. I do remember him in Equus. I am still kicking myself for insisting that our family go see Cats rather than catch PF in Amadeus on Broadway back in the early 80's. For me too, though, he was too pretty and boyish looking. I have since seen him in lots of things but only with Spooks did he really come back onto my radar. That is why, when I hear PF mention something along the lines of the years being cruel to all of us I can only say, Mr. Firth, the years have been VERY good to you. Very good indeed!
