Spooks - Code 9; BBC HD

Goodoldbakes · 13-08-2008, 10:56 AM

Oh dear lord..........

Please don't let this be the replacement for Harry & the gang. This was just Torchwood meets Hollyoaks. Oh, and the pq was poor too.

Watched the first 5 mins and gave up.

Horrific acting, some silly kids who are new spy recruits and rubbish at that. I was a more suitable candidate at the age of 12 running around being naughty

Epic fail BBC, get the real spooks back asap.

Isn't the premise that there are young terrorists so the MoD employ young spooks?

Err...wouldn't it be better to have adults against these child terrorists.

Was very dissapointed with the PQ on this, looked SD most of the time!

Not if they have to go undercover.... which is usually the case

No the series isnt great - but as a little fun its ok (yes I enjoy Tree Hill also just to chill to)

Maybe its just the timing of when I get home from work and just need something to look at and not really think about

I think the fact that BBC chose to put it on one of their minority channels in a Sunday night slot told me before I wasted 20 minutes watching it, that it wouldn't be up to much.

If the Beeb's philosophy was that "there are young terrorists so the MoD employ young spooks?" should we be watching out for a new series about schoolboy policemen tackling youth crime

You should be think yourselves lucky you are actually getting new programs rather than endless repeats

It's obviously aimed at the 8-12 years old market segment - but in that case why is it shown at 11pm or later. Children should be safely tucked in their beds at that time.

HugoFJH · 19-08-2008, 5:55 PM

Its shown at 9pm (certainly both weeks Ive seen it on Sunday evening)

Language used would indicate a little older than 10 year olds to me (seems to be a bit of swearing) but I would agree its for kids and therefore still probably too late

Not on BBCHD it isn't. They simulcast Britain From Above at 9pm.

I had an other go at it and I should have quit whilst I was winning, oh dear what can the matter be, the BBC making a lot of crap TV.

More dumbed down nonsense to go with the likes of Robin Hood, Bonekickers and the new Dr Who (and that was for kids for a start). Even some of the villains are 15years old what the heck is this series Spooks meets Logan’s Run

Thing the ;Code 9 means you need to take 9 codine after you watched it

(thats a joke kiddies dont take them)

Worst new BBC drama series I have seen in a long time!
Do they seriiously expect people to take seriously the premise of a group of teenage,undercover MI5 officers who all live together in one big house.
Do me a favour.
