As you may know,
delgaserasca has posted about a Spooks rewatch over on
spooky_doings and as I have the day off today I decided I'd make a start (I will inevitably fall behind and not finish this thing in time for the film release, so nobody expect anything from me).
s1 ep1
- the s1 DVD menus were really well designed.
- I realise how redundant this is but everyone looks so YOUNG.
- I don't want to just repeat everyone's names in ALL CAPS, so imagine me doing that periodically throughout the episode.
- FAKE THAMES HOUSE! (I work near there so this is always hilarious, also I went round it once on Open House weekend)
- "When did you tell your wife that you're a spook? When you met, when you married?' 'Just after we signed the register. Well, I like to have things on paper, don't you?'
- I am impressed by how much of this I am actually remembering
- I'm finding the music really intrusive. Hopefully it calms down in a few episodes' time.
- TESSA!
- I'll spare you all my thoughts on the series of BT adverts with Esther Hall (Ellie) and Kris Marshall and then the next generation with the annoying students.
- I like that they at least started off not setting everything in London.
- Has Matthew MacFadyen ever played a character with a sense of humour?
s1ep2
- Danny and Tom go running by the river and I bet it doesn't look anything like that now.
- Uggggggh I think we all already knew this guy was a total shit without him beating his wife. There really is no need for adding misogyny to villain characters.
- Oh, Danny.
- Everyone (except Tom and Harry) is so nervous and worried they're screwing up all the time.
- Deep fat fryer!
- Container yard! I do look a good container yard chase/running/hiding sequence.
- Oh, Tom.
- so many funerals in this show. SO MANY.
