Visual Intel from Spooks Filming
Here’s one for the location nerds that contains a wee teaser for the next series. Courtesy of Spooks fan Graham, who happened to be in the right place at the right time, we have some visual intel from a recent season 10 shoot for you. Graham says: “They were filming on March 26th at the Chelsea Harbour Hotel. We came out of the entrance and all the signage to the hotel was in German, and an old Czech car parked outside!” (Click images for larger version)
I’m not sure what “ausgang” means (pedestrian exit?) but the other signs loosely translate to: Parking Prohibited!, Exit (for vehicles), Parking, Market, Pedestrians.. Hmmmm a German flavour to the next series perhaps? I am intrigued! Thanks to Graham for the surveillance snaps.

As far as I know, “ausgang” does mean “exit” or “egress”, “way out”, “outlet” – pedestrian or otherwise. Which one might depend on the context. But that is just high school German coming back to me.
At least it looks as if Harry gets to stay in a very nice hotel while facing his demons from the Cold War. ;-)
Thanks Skully and Graham! These tid-bits keep me going a little bit longer.
Berlin Berlin Berlin :-P
Heehee!(Lovin’ your fanfic fic, BTW!) Didn’t the writers mention something about Berlin Corners in a recent interview?
They certainly did ;) That and the press release inspired my take on ‘Berlin’. I have a feeling that if he goes to Berlin this series, Ruth will go with him. That could be a literal ‘Unexpected Journey’. If Harry needs someone to help him, he’ll ask Ruth because he trusts her above all others. Even though I’m obviously a self confessed Harry and Ruth fan, I’d love to see them working together as nothing more than colleagues away from the Grid. Peter and Nicola are brilliant and would really have a chance to shine. Of course, a bit of angst here and there wouldn’t go amiss either :-P
Danke schön für die Information. Harry und eine junge Fräulein in ein Hotel Zimmer? Das ist sehr interessant. Jawohl! Und das Foto ist auch gut!
(Where is that German dictionary when I most need it?)
Tiny, I was thinking the same thing! Ruth, Harry, a nice Hotel… anything could happen. ;)
The old Czech car made me think about East Berlin in the 1980s and that made me worried: what was Harry doing in a hotel? Liaising dangerously? That’s one to ponder… :O

Berlin? Harry’s past? Must have something to do with Operation Omega. Bring it. Maybe he’ll get to take someone out with his necktie again…
Relying also on high school German, I remember “ausgang” to simply mean “exit”.
Looks intriguing!
OMFG (there is no real German equivalent ;) – RL has kept me so busy that this little bit of informartion has totally passed me by!!!!
Must keep my eyes open when traipsing around BerlinBerlinWirFahrenNachBerlin!!!!
can’t believe I might have stumbled across Harry and not noticed ;)
then again, re-watching S7 the other night (and interviews with the producer) I remember that they have no budget for travels.. might use old footage from tourist information ;)
getting slightly excited about S10 now ;)
Only slightly? Only four or so months to go now!!!
