But bizarrely they had gone underground at Liverpool street and were
using "disused tunnels" to get to London Bridge. Now I'm willing to
suspend belief for fiction purposes that they were using a tunnel that
doesn't exist. But they least they could have done then was to cover
up the roundels saying that they were at Charing Cross, which rather
made a mockery of the whole thing. Even "King William Street" would
have done! :-)

Actually, that would have been rather clever,

Oh, really, it's nothing. You're too kind! :-))


but assumes a knowledge
about LU's history that companies like Kudos are unlikely to have.

They have only to ask.......


I've
been down the old King William Street tunnels, and it would have been
great if they could have re-created that seedy (and dark ) WWII look.
Wouldn't it be nice if disused tunnels were all so clean, dry and
brightly lit as in Spooks (not a rat or stalagmite to be seen)?

Brightly lit in unlikely circumstances is a particular failing of
television and film production generally. The problem is, if you
recreated total darkness, it's not terribly good from a story-telling
point of view.

Obviously, if we're being picky,

Me?! :-)


I doubt that you could get a nuclear
bomb into a briefcase either.

If indeed inaccurate, I for one am mightily relieved.


But then, Spooks isn't about accuracy, and
they do tell their tales rather well.

This is only the second one I've seen. I saw one in an hotel last week
and tuned in again this week because I'd enjoyed it so much.
