Well don't just leave it there!! What was the scene?

I'm also interested! Perhaps I can convince my Religious Studies teachers that Spooks is an educational programme...

He then says "Anyone watch Spooks?" To which I yell "Me me, I do! I LOVE Spooks!!!" and the class find this terribly amusing.

Safe to say I got little work done after this due to discussing what actually happened in the minutest detail in the scene he briefly described to do his lesson to the person to my right.

You were going to watch Spooks in an Religious Studies Lesson!!??????
I wish My Religious Studies lessons had been that good!! haha shame the clip didn't work!
Of course Spooks is educational! Should be shown more in lessons

And I've done a Similar thing once, I heard one of my teachers say to someone else "You're going to work for MI5 are you? Be a Spy, like Spooks"... I just turned round and screamed "SPOOKS WHO SAID SPOOKS? I LOVE SPOOKS!" haha

What was the clip? Which Episode?

Hmmm you know you're a fan when, you can't stop quoting Ros and Lucas's small talk,
And when you see someone accuse two people who are dating, of not doing their work properly and having their profssional relationship compromised because of their personal relationship apparently getting in the way and you begin comparing it to Harry and Ruth

Of course Spooks is educational, how else am I gonna learn how spies work and think of crazy plans to attack people!

You know you're a fan of Spooks when you find yourself inadvertently memorising pieces of information that you hear from the show...

I can quote King Lear even though I've never seen/read it, I now know a good deal more about Blake than I perhaps should, I know that perfume is synthesised but used to be made using the anal glands of civets (not cats!) and my knowledge of Russian philosophers, authors and political activists is steadily growing

Does this mean I can cite Spooks as being educational after-all?!

It was 4.2 when Adam hung the guy over the balcony and dropped him, then interrogated the other one by also hanging him over after the first one fell. We were doing ethical arguments so it was rather appropriate really.

I still don't even understand why the hell would Lucas even know that? Did he just go memorize a trivia book?

I thought that was funny when I first heard it, it was just so odd that he started to correct Ros. LOL!

That reminds me of the new Hawaii Five-0, they're always doing crazy stuff like hanging people over balconies, tossing people into shark cages, and tying people to roof of cars while they're driving!

.......when read about a conservation project in Senegal, and you know exactly where that country is and the name of it's capital city.

When you see the Santander advert on TV and scream "Oh my god its Richard Armitage" and then when you see it again you turn to your dad and say "Lucas North works at your bank"

...when you read the headline on BBC homepage - "Hubble spies..." and you think OMG They have spies on the Hubble telescope! AMAZING!

(and then you finish reading the headline "....oldest known galaxy" )

When you see this news report
