I am just not fully convinced that the general and average demographics for DA and Spooks cross over enough to take that big a bite out of either. Besides, if Spooks does manage to take a bite out of DA, DA will suffer more for it. Spooks has nothing to lose.

The thought did occur to me that maybe the BBC is doing it on purpose to see if Spooks can reasonably hold its own? If it does, the optimist in me would like to believe that that may inform future decisions re: a 2-hour movie or two? Maybe? Please?

I found DA to be a bit melodramatic, but watch it because I like the cast. And, ironically enough, its what's on Masterpiece Theater on a Sunday night. However, I am very glad that it is a decision I do not have to make. So I feel for all of you who do have to choose!

^Another great point from a marketing perspective.
