It's the same with "James Bond" -- why hide behind your own genre? Is it because the series isn't going to be good enough as it is?
Quite possibly: I think Spooks knows it's a bit cheesy, and just revels in its cheesiness. I don't think it sets out to be anything spectacular or ground-breaking, just enjoyable. (There was a great episode last season with Alexander Siddig in it which was edgy and dramatically very tense.)
And Jaime Murray.
:-D That reminds me of the character in Peter's Friends who, when asked if he likes Top Gun for a variety of reasons, finishes the other person's list with: "...and Kelly McGillis!"
