Interview with Michael Caton-Jones
An interview with Spooks director Michael Caton-Jones in the Herald Scotland. Not much in the way of Spooks info but fascinating nonetheless.

RE: Interview with Michael Caton-Jones
There is an interview with Michael specifically about his Spooks experience in the Times last Mon 20th Sept. It is very interesting. He directs tonight's episode. I don't know how to link directly to the article because you now seem to have a subscription to view the Times online and I just buy the hardcopy. I do still have the article and was thinking of having a go at scanning it in if people were interested. Or maybe someone technically competent might be able to link to it?

Thanks for the heads up, watchstrap. I subscribe to The Times website and I missed this. He is very complimentary about PF and NW, but on the whole didn't really enjoy his experience on Spooks. I would copy and paste the text, but I'm not sure if that is copyright infringement?? Hope you can scan the hard copy watchstrap. ![]() We move on from this It's the realisation that I make a negligible difference Sometimes you have to give a man a chance |

RE: Interview with Michael Caton-Jones
Thank you Watchstrap and Bea. Very interesting.
Is it me, or does he come over a little full of himself? I don't think he needs to wait next to the phone to be invited back after this brutally honest interview. ![]() Still, it's great that he has high regard for all the actors on the show, and PF in particular. Come on Kudos, listen to him, and make more use of his talents. ![]() |

RE: Interview with Michael Caton-Jones
He came across as arrogant, full of his own importance, and someone with a very short attention span. Bless him, not able to concentrate on one episode of Spooks! He obviously missed the point that it is an eight part series in a story that has been running for nine years. It is not a self contained film.
Funny how he couldn't see the point of Maya and Lucas, but he was all in favour of Harry and Ruth. Maybe a did have a point there! Let's face it, Spooks would be none the worse off without Lucas' back story, in fact it is just background noise in an otherwise gripping show. |

The Scotland Herald article explains some of his "attitude" a bit. What can I say? He's a Director! They are an interesting breed. While he does come across as arrogant, I like his confident and straight forward approach. Television is not really his medium it would seem. I loved that NW is the one who convinced him to do Spooks and that he was so enamored with PF. My suspicions re: PF staying on Spooks for the duration have been confirmed - the man has a family to support. Nothing wrong with that. Glad he can. Even if PF doesn't ever win a BAFTA, this connection can only get him more and better work in the future. I remember NW once saying that PF was her hero, I think he could probably return the sentiment to some degree now! LOL! Now cracks a noble heart.
