It's funny you say that because I joined twitter recently and found a friend or two by searching for "spooks" in tweets. Problem is, with Halloween, it kept coming up with hundreds of the wrong sort of references!

I think the show has found new fans thanks to Richard Armitage. My sister and many of her friends in Australia started watching the show purely because of him. Bloody bonnet dramas are good for something after all!

I'm icudoc01 on twitter if you want to add me.

Hmm, how to phrase this... ok, this is one of my (many!) pet rants. Why when I search Spooks on youtube does it presume that I want to watch RPJ or RA? Not that there's anything wrong with either of them (quickly add that part before I get lynched,) but I like Spooks not, as you put it JHyde, 'bonnet dramas', and when searching youtube for Spooks I would rather see Spooks videos than them!

I suppose the fangirls load them.

I think they do. If only they could upload more Spooks...

Hey, I'm totally on your side. One of the reasons I'd love my own TARDIS is so that I could go back and kill Jane Austen. Not really, but only because it might violate the spirit of the TARDIS. Although to be fair, Richard Armitage did Gaskell. (I loved Jane Austen as a 15 year old, now it just drives me crazy that my mother and sister seem to read them exclusively. There is lots of other wonderful literature!)

The reason I make that point is because a few new fans of a certain demographic might help us get a season 9. And that can only be a good thing.

... I think that is against the whole spirit of having the TARDIS. And it would be a paradox, probably. If it wasn't for Jane Austen we wouldn't have as many romantic films, such as... ok, I have no clue what films are based on Austen. Just don't do it, yeah? Wink

I do have two TARDISes (TARDI? What's the plural?) but sadly one is paper... but the other one does make cool noises Big Grin

But it isn't bigger on the inside (to be quite honest it is tiny on the inside,) and it can only travel forwards in time (at the same rate of the Earth)... but still! Tongue

I know, I'm sure there's a very good reason why we couldn't. Plus, as Adam points out at Tring, she noticed things.

Yeah, I have one of those, the noisy one is the one with Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper in it.
