Spooks: Code 9 
Spooks: Code 9 started last night on BBC3 with a double bill.

I was really looking forward to it, as I'm a huge fan of regular Spooks, and I've seen the adverts everywhere (side of buses, TV, radio etc...).... it looks good!

I'm already in love with Charlie, the mathmetician. He's so geeky it's loveable. And I think Kylie kicks ass. I like the idea that she joined MI5 because of the radiation poisoning that is slowly killing her, and she's just living every day as though it's her last. Oh yeah, in the adverts of Spooks: Code 9, I wasn't too sure about Georgia's hair, short and red, as I was far too used to her with long, blonde hair. But now I've seen it, I've got to say, I think it really suits her. I know she has long black hair now, but that's not the point.

The others are really cool too, although I'm not too sure about Rachel. Rob reminds me far too much of Owen in Torchwood - guns blazing, really rude and appears to not care about anyone or anything. I'm not too sure about Jez either. I think I'll have to wait until episode 3 to make a full analysis of all the characters.

I love the plot idea, but I think it was cutting it close with the plot from the Doctor Who episode, Turn Left. In Turn Left, no-one was alive to stop the Titanic from crashing into London, and the radiation from the ship blitzed the capital city and surrounding areas, and the whole of the south population had to move up north to Leeds. And in Spooks: Code 9, people stuck a small nuclear bomb underneath the olympic stadium in 2012, when it was completely full - for maximum impact. So, the entire south population had to move up north, because of the radiation in London and surrounding areas. See? I half expected Donna to turn up complaining about Leeds....

Never the less, it was a good watch, and I am waiting eagerly for the next episode - I think it focuses around Kylie (Georgia Moffett) and the whole anti-radiation pills, or something like that.
