"unconscious with emotion" What a great way of saying it! There did seem to be an excessive amount of drug taking during this episode. Miss B appeared to be taking it in nearly every scene.

Isn't that Bs line when she is asked where Riff is by Adam?

Another moment I am ashamed to say I enjoy is when Adam tells Riff that he needs to stay straight because he needs to get Alfie back. Riffs reply is "You're right. I'll just do vodka." Sadly, these are people that are familiar to me. The amount and what they do is relative to what they could be doing.

Yes I loved that line as well. Riff and B live in such a different world.
I think that the comedy in this episode is its best feature, it is so different from the normal Spooks and I guess providing you only take it at "face value" it is quite good fun.

You know what I just noticed while working on some dates for Ruth's Diary? In Harry's Diary, this episode doesn't even rate a mention. That rather implies it was an episode the producers weren't so crazy about in retrospect.
