I do like Spooks, yes I do, but it's just not Hustle, is it?

I thought this was signalling some kind of maturation process whereby I was moving on from the grayscale world of spies for the more chipper world of nicking things whilst wearing smart suits, but then I watched the last two episodes of Reilly: Ace of Spies and all seemed to be back to normal.

You certainly know how to make a person happy *g*.

I've been desperate to see it for years.

I hope it lives up to expectations, but I think it will! It's very much of its time and is a world much less flashy than Spooks, full of behind the scenes scheming and world-weariness. I don't think I've seen Roy Marsden be better in anything. Enjoy!

The single episode I saw was brilliant, it has stuck in my memory. And I suspect it will be very like 'Callan' (low budget, small sets, world-weariness), which I adore.

Yup, that would be it. I have to admit to not having seen 'Callan' but my other half used to really like it and he loves 'The Sandbaggers' as well so I think you're in with a good chance of enjoying it.

The first colour season of 'Callan' is also out on DVD - the rights have just changed hands too, so I'm hoping for more eventually.
