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

[Tea Lady]

Thanks Aria. I was literally just reading that article online. Its on the Guardian website if anyone wants to read it. Its a little angst though although its not a new story that the BBC is struggling with its funding. I was surprised that Spooks costs £900,000 per episode. With a funding gap of 20% though I hope the BBC review which is ongoing will address that. At least the issue is being raised now so hopefully it will be sorted by the time a decision needs to be made about series 10. I thought the point about the BBC i-player was interesting. Stephen Garrett was saying why do the BBC put Spooks on i-player for free? It loses them DVD sales which they really need because of the funding gap!

Anyway, its good to hear the money appears to be there for series 9. I think that is the best we can hope for in the current economic climate.
