Yep, the M15 is probably some motorway somewhere, however MI5 is the UK secret service - http://www.mi5.gov.uk/

I taped it and havent watched it yet, so i will try to watch it before tonights second part!

As an action series it certainly better than the average pedestrian police drama that the UK usually produces.
One thing that niggles me a little is that even on Spooks they try to inject tension by dialogue like:
" We'll have to bring in the armed police"
"Armed Police, is that really necesssary?"
"I'm afraid so, we have no choice"

This dialogue would seem so strange in almost every country in the world as all their police forces are routinely armed.
I personally think Britain needs to be routinely armed and quickly but that's another issue.
In terms of drama they need to cut out any dramatic effect that the mere mentioning of armed police has as it really holds no value at all.

Anyone else watch it last night?

I for one was a little dissapointed that its ended the way it did after a big build up.

I also thought it wasnt as good as the two parter last weekend.

No it wasnt as good a the two parter last week but that would be hard to beat i reckon....i watched the next episode on BBC 3 and this was quite an interesting one!, Adam loses it at the end i hope he will be ok.

The ad for the next episode (episode 5) looks really exciting, there seems to be some kind of twist in the story involving ruth!!

I think she may have been working under cover for another agency the whole time, but i could be wrong!

BBC I-Player online available 24/7

I'm still amazed how many people don't know about this or don't use it. I-Player is the best thing the BBC have done in years.
