Many thanks to Millhand for getting all the papers today! :-*
Most of the TV guides in the papers make Spooks a Pick of the Day on Wednesday or a Highlight of the Week.
There are small articles in some of them including one in the
Daily Star that includes a quote from Richard.
The Independent says of the first episode, "A typically high-octane opener to the new series of the spy drama, as Harry's kidnappers state their price for the MI5 chieftan. It's all to do with enriched uranium and Peter Firth looks worried."; The Daily Telegraph says that "the team are back with a vengeance. [...] The episode starts off looking like an advert for Audi cars, but stick with it - it reaches an exhausting (and believable) climax."
"It's always fun to have a new series of Spooks," says The Times, "even when it doesn't deliver as much as it promises. Unashamedly wham-bam entertainment, it is filled with chases and explosions and technical wizardry performed the with hatchet-faced seriousness by actors who are called upon to save the world. [...] Most of the episodes involve a race against time, but this one includes a whole series of races-against-time, all running simultaneously. Spooks has never been afraid of overkill."
The Daily Mail says, "The return of 'Spooks' livens up BBC1's schedules. [...] The new series gets off to a scorching start with an episode that seldom pauses for breath but screws up the tension and suspense to an almost unbearable pitch. Expect shocks - and a face from the past." The Daily Star calls Spooks "the best spy show on TV."And The Sun describes the new series as "gripping".
Can't wait...
