Status Update

Apologies. The subject of this blog airs its last ever series and I go AWOL. What can I say? Life happens. And sometimes so much of it happens that there is little room for extra curricular activities like this. So please accept my apologies for not responding to your comments, emails and general participation in all things Spooks. I am tempted to declare that the Spooks Fan Blog is going on an indefinite hiatus but I’d rather keep things open for now. Maybe I’ll post again soon, maybe I won’t. Let’s wait and see. Hope everyone is well. xox

[SPOILERS] What I Never Told You About Tariq

Episode 10.2 Spoilers ahead, proceed at your own risk!!

What I never told you about Tariq is this – he totally reminds me of one of my ex-boyfriends! (a good one! still friends in fact). This is going back in the day to my undergraduate degree. So I have to confess I have a bit of soft spot for the grid’s IT geek. Like Tariq my former fella…

Spooks 10 Drinking Games

Are you following the Spooks Fan Blog on Twitter? We had a little fun recently coming up with ideas for hypothetical drinking games during the airing of Spooks (NOT LONG TO GO NOW!). Using the hashtag #spooks10drinkinggames, here’s a sample of what we came up with:

Every time Ruth looks away from Harry meaningfully, we have to down a shot of lavender oil (@BunchOfSteve)

When Tariq says “facial recog” & every time Ruth walks into Harry’s office w/o knocking (@shaijinx)

Any mention of a deceased team member and any mission’s codename (@TheMozFromOz)

When downloading 2usb &/or see screen of said important information downloading against the clock (@katy_aka_bob)

Words ‘eyeball’ ‘alpha 1′ (@golddustalex)

Drink whenever Harry and Ruth gaze at each other lovingly but their relationship doesn’t progress (@walktothestars)

Drink every time a character onscreen dies (@golddustalex)

And some of my suggestions @SpooksFanBlog:

Whenever you hear the words ‘the comms won’t work underground’

Should you be wanting to get paralytic (not advised!) Whenever Harry is on the phone

Shots of vodka at the mention(s) of Lucas/John

If Tom or Zoe turn up, go the whole bottle!

And if drinking aint your thang and you live downunder. Whenever someone goes through the pods, you can eat one.
