Poetry in Spooks - help please!
Being in Australia where Spooks is screened 12 months after its UK screening, I'm hanging out for my S9 DVD.
Problem: I'm going to receive it mid-semester when I should be studying ... Solution: Write an assignment based on Spooks, so viewing becomes 'research' not 'entertainment'. (Ahh, the mind games we play with ourselves ...) I'm doing an MA and need to put together a short anthology of poems and thought I'd try and track down as many references/quotes from Spooks as possible and make my theme something like "Classical poetry references in British TV series Spooks". Unfortunately, I don't have time to re-watch all of the series to date, so any help would be much appreciated. So far I have, with help, found: S3.7 Abu Nuwas quoted by Ruth S5.2 Walt Whitman quoted for Colin’s funeral S5.2 Rupert Brooke from ‘The Old Vicarage, Grantchester’ by Harry S7.? Spike Milligan ‘On the Ning Nang Nong’ discussed by Harry & Qualtrough S7.1 John McCrae ‘In Flanders Fields’ S8.8 Schiller “Alle Menschen werden Brüder” (Ode to Joy) by Harry S9.1 reading unknown, as I’ve not seen this yet There are also these Shakespeare references, which I reckon count as poetry: S5.4 Shakespeare (Measure for Measure) by Malcolm S2.5 Shakespeare (Henry IV) by Ruth S8.? Shakespeare (King Lear) by Sarah Caulfiel Can anyone add to this list? "I like the niceties. They protect us from tyranny." |
