I remember seeing the plugs for the new spy show at the time and I thought 'that looks a bit synthetic and showy; not watching that'. Never did I think it was a gritty as it was. As soon as I read about people complaining I watched it (episode 3) and totally fell in love with it.

So I knew about Helen's death before I finally saw the episode but I am more than happy to admit I was wrong in those very early days! And having watched some 24 from around the same time ('02), there's no comparison - it's Spooks 6-0 24!

Same here - I heard about the scene & that is what made me start watching the show. That episode is one of the few I feel uncomfortable watching again.
