Episode 1 Discussion [Rewatch]

Nice to see you back Silktie. I agree that the Serbian storyline wasnt of particular interest to me and I guess a lot of people in the UK. The Irish "problem" has had much more of an impact on the British people than any other campaign including Al Qaeda's. Its certainly killed more people. I think it has been said before, but why hasnt Spooks used more Irish terror related storylines? I really dont think there has been that many.

Watching the commentary for 1.6, they did say that they had already made the decision prior to 9/11 not to include Irish terrorism until later in the series, because people would be expecting them to include it quite early on.

I think it might just be because it's such a sensitive subject maybe?
