Series 9 rumours - possible spoilers......

[TygerBright]

A drama insider said: 'There just isn’t that much more to be done with Spooks, it does feel very tired as a format.'

I must admit I have been thinking along those lines. Already season 8 wasn't as strong as 7 (the way I see it anyways) and we've all been throwing around ideas as to which villains to battle next and what storylines we'd like to see..and while I can see enough material for one more season.. I'd rather see the show end on a high, to be remembered for how good it was, rather than being pitied as a "has-been"..
..to misquote T.S. Eliot "this is the way Spooks ends, not with a whimper but a bang."
Again, all just speculation and even if they axe it, we'll most likely have another 8 episodes to get used to the thought
