"This series does keep you on your toes. It doesn't help if you're a bit of a control freak, like I am, because I like to know everything I'm doing, when I'm doing it."
And now, Ian has given us an extra feature with Richard, which you can read here. There's more detailed information about the series, about most of the main characters, the new CIA officer and Richard's reaction to the storylines. Enjoy!
24th October
The Daily Record has an interview with Richard Armitage this morning in which we get an interesting insight of what life was like before he landed more significant roles in television. This experience affects his current work ethic: "But I always feel somehow it's going to be taken away from me so I work when I can. When you struggled with work as I did when I left drama school you make hay when the sun shines."
He also talks about the ever-changing scripts that are part of working life on the set of Spooks: "When I first came on board, Peter Firth said to me this is what happens and you have to learn to run with it. You've got to be able to learn lines and some very dense political jargon very quickly – it's quite a workout for the brain."
The online article is here.
Bernie from C19 has very kindly given us permission to post the scan from the printed edition of the Daily Record. Click on the images below to enlarge.
A complete list of all Spooks articles and interviews can be found on our site here.
There's a brief interview with Richard Armitage in this week's Woman magazine. He says…"Last year Lucas was finding himself again after an eight-year incarceration, now he's one of the team. He prefers to play the maverick, all guns blazing…"

Once again, the image of Richard is reversed and we cannot resist turning it the right way round.

ABC Television does have the rights to this series, however scheduling is yet to be finalised. Visit www.abc.net.au/tv regularly for updates.
Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer!
2. Tvshowsondvd.com have announced that the region 1 version of Spooks season 7 (known as MI-5 in the US) will be released on 26 January 2010. The boxset comprises 4 discs with the same extras that are currently available on the region 2 (UK) DVD, namely:
- Audio commentaries by the producer, director and writer of episode 5 and episode 8
The article says that it will cost $59.98, however it will no doubt be cheaper from Amazon.com and other retailers. You can sign up here to be notified when the DVD is available from Amazon.
1. At last the BBC Press Office has announced that Spooks will start on Weds 4 November, 9pm – 10pm on BBC1.
Episode 1 information is here. Be warned – there are major spoilers in this press release.
2. There's an interview with Richard Armitage in Star Magazine today with some new pictures. Be warned though, that one of the pictures and the text of the interview contain mild spoilers about the series.
"Series eight sees Lucas firmly in the fold of head-honcho Harry Pearce's (Peter Firth) Section D team and, this time round, Lucas is the agent in the thick of most of the action."
Click to enlarge the image.
The picture of Richard is the wrong way around, so we've reversed it so you can see it properly. Click to enlarge.

Thank you Lady J for the scan.

All Spooks reviews and articles can be found here.
2. John Lloyd of the Financial Times has written an interesting article about Spooks, analysing the reasons for its appeal.
He states: "But for all its contemporary references, Spooks isn't interested in being any kind of documentary on what MI5 actually does, or how it does it. A working knowledge of international relations and geopolitical tensions has never been the main reason for its continued success."
Read the full article here.
15th October
A short but sweet article in the free London magazine Shortlist today.
At the end you'll see that it mentions Thursday 29 October 2009 as the air date, which does seem to add weight to the rumours already circulating that this is the date for episode 1. The BBC are still yet to confirm.
Click on the image to enlarge.
Many thanks to Stef for the scan.
The Radio Times and the TV Times have today given clues that Spooks series 8 will start week commencing 24 October, although there is still no exact day given.
On the back page of the Radio Times there is a picture of Ros under the heading 'Next week in Radio Times on sale Tuesday 20 October'. Under the picture are the words 'Spooks. The spy drama is back on the grid'.
The TV Times says "Next Issue – Spooks – Ros and Lucas return on a mission impossible: to find Harry alive."
Still no word from the BBC Press Office.
Thanks Stef for the RT info and Janice for the TV Times info.
Allison Pearson has interviewed Richard Armitage on the set of Spooks. She states;
"Some rakish TV turns have earnt Spooks star Richard Armitage an army of female fans. ALLISON PEARSON went to see what all the fuss is about - and found him squirming with embarrassment."
How many women can you take to a Richard Armitage interview? Earlier this year, when I paid homage to the actor in my Daily Mail column, so many readers volunteered to come along and 'hold the microphone' that if I ever met Richard I would have had to rent the Royal Albert Hall to squeeze us all in."
There's a new picture accompanying the article as well (click to enlarge):
You can read the full interview here
Here's an article scan of the two page interview in the Weekend magazine that is published with the Daily Mail today, you get a larger picture with the printed version but the text is the same. Click each image to enlarge.

7th October
A small mention of Richard Armitage in the Mail Online today by Allison Pearson.
As for the casting of badboy Jonny Lee Miller as the wise, older Mr Knightley, where is the divinely brooding and grown-up Richard Armitage when you need him? Answer me that.
Spooks has been nominated in the 37th International Emmy Awards as Best Drama Series against four other international shows. Winners will be announced by Graham Norton, on 23 November 2009 at the Hilton New York Hotel.

Press release on the International Emmy's site
Spooks is also up for another award which will be announced on 21 October 2009. The 2009 Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards, in association with the Crime Writers Association (CWA) and Cactus TV, will be broadcast on ITV3 later in October after the ceremony has taken place.
Although this ceremony focuses mostly on crime fiction, there are some television awards. Spooks is nominated for best small-screen crime thriller drama and Hermione Norris is nominated as Best Actress for her role as Ros Myers.
1. Two people have the chance of winning a Spooks series 7 boxset courtesy of lastbroadcast.co.uk. They have confirmed via email that this competition is only open to UK residents I'm afraid.
The page link above also gives you access to an episode guide for series 7 and to Richard Armitage's interview that he gave prior to series 7 in case you haven't seen it before, or would like a re-read.
I think the answer to the competition question is a tad obvious.
Closing date 3 November 2009.
Update 7th October
2. Another competition to win a Spooks 7 DVD boxset has been announced from Downtown Radio. Again, I'm afraid to say this competition is only open to UK residents.
The closing date is 9 November 2009. Click here for details
3. Another competition was announced on our news blog here on 27 September 2009 from Now magazine.
Update 9th October
4. Yet another competition only open to UK residents from Webuser
It's already clear (and perhaps a little obvious) that North and South is the most re-watched show that Richard Armitage has appeared in, so we have modified the poll a little and now ask you to please vote again.
N&S has been removed from the list, so of the remaining shows, which one do you reach for the most often when in need of a 'Richard' fix?
Previous results showed that Spooks series 7 (15.4%) was the 2nd most popular, followed by Robin Hood series 3 (13%), but if N&S is no longer an option we're wondering if this will affect the results.
Return to the homepage and see the poll options on the left-hand side.
Thanks for voting!
Ian Wylie of the Manchester Evening News has posted some tantalising news of Spooks series 8, particularly episode 1 as he received the DVD of this episode yesterday.
Read his blog here. Caution: minor spoilers.
Highlights include:
The actor formerly known as Richard Armitage has been totally taken over by Lucas North.
It's such a convincing portrayal that they surely must be one and the same person?
And a disturbing image in the teaser trailer for episode two.
I'm not ashamed to say that I had a little tear in my eye at the end.
Not long to go now…I hope!
The BBC America shop DVDs in the Works page has details of early 2010 releases of Spooks season 7 (known as MI-5 in the US) and Robin Hood season 3 on DVD.
Scroll down for a picture of tattooed Lucas and the following info…
There is still no news to confirm when BBCA will be showing MI-5 season 7, starring Richard Armitage as Lucas North.
Further down the DVDs in the Works page, there is information about the Robin Hood season 3 DVD, which will be available to buy in early in 2010. However, the site monstersandcritics.com states that it will be available to buy from 12th January 2010. The special features are exactly the same as you'll find on the region 2 DVD which is out now, namely:
1. The WATCH UK television channel are re-showing series 7 of Spooks starting 21 October 2009. The first episode will be shown at 9pm, repeated three hours later at midnight.
There is still no confirmation of when BBC1 will be showing series 8, although the BBC Press Office have not included it in their programme schedule 10-16 October, so perhaps it will start week commencing 17 October to coincide with the re-showing of series 7 on WATCH? We hope so.
2. Today we're asking which of Richard Armitage's programmes you have watched the most, to try and find out which is the most popular production. To vote, return to the homepage and scroll down the main menu on the left-hand side to see the poll choices.
The last poll found that 51% of you are looking forward to seeing Spooks series 8 and the next most looked forward to production is Strike Back (23.4%).
Now magazine are offering the chance for 6 people to win copies of the Spooks series 7 DVD, but I'm afraid this is only open to UK residents.
The competition closes on Tuesday 27 October 2009.

On 4 August 2009, Jason Arnopp revealed on Twitter that he had attended a round table interview with Richard Armitage and today, thanks to Debs, we have received a copy of that interview which has been published in a new magazine called 'Film Star', October edition.
The interview reveals many exciting details about Lucas's role in series 8 of Spooks, including the fact that Lucas will revisit his traumatic past in the Russian prison and that he will begin a love affair with an attractive CIA liaison officer.
Here's a scan of the interview. Click to enlarge.
(Ali has since bought the magazine and re-scanned for a clearer image. Press F5 if you can't see the newer version straight away).
The South African site GFC has an article about Sky filming in a district of Johannesburg
"Skye TV, a British channel, is currently shooting a television series, some scenes of which are being filmed in Yeoville. Strike Back is a six part television serious centred on the current conflict in Iraq. San Remo, a distinctive but run down art deco block of flats on Kenmere Street, is the location for down town Baghdad.The building was chosen for its age and texture. It's a once glorious building that with time and neglect now perfectly represents the dank, gritty feeling of a building in a war zone. Interiors and exteriors are being shot with a lot of the action taking place on the roof. The scenes in San Remo involve the rescue of a hostage by British SAS soldiers."
You can read the full article here
Writer John Crook (St. Paul Pioneer Press) has published an interview with Richard Armitage about Guy of Gisborne that appears to contain new quotes about the character. We are not sure when this interview was undertaken, but some of Richard's remarks do seem to be new to us.
Richard discusses his reaction to learning that Guy would kill Marian at the end of series 2, Gisborne's road to self-destruction at the start of series 3 and his changing relationship with Robin as the series develops. He's also pleased that Gisborne appears to develop a sense of humour:
"It's interesting toward the end of this series, as he takes this unexpected journey to becoming someone new, you really do start to see this dry humor coming out of Gisborne. It's in connection with Robin and the understanding between them. Gisborne starts to open up in terms of his humor with Robin, which is something I never expected, that he would have this sense of humor."

Dr. Joseph Warren on the Web
Welcome to the go-to destination for everything written by and about this notable Founding figure. Physician, politician, soldier, revolutionary, Joseph Warren cast in words and actions an inspirational view for the meaning of America, and serves as an example of an involved citizen, from a time before the creation of the United States of America or its Constitution.
Enthusiasts for the American experience, historians, students, genealogists, masons, historical reenactors, media correspondents, and blogsters will find a wealth of primary source documents, graphics, and more for their edification and incorporation into their own activities. This website presents in readily accessible form the fruits of years of research on which I based my new biography of Joseph Warren. I encourage visitors to read for themselves, and to incorporate into their own thinking, everything known to have been written by Joseph Warren, as well as material about him by his friends, enemies and associates. On examining this material website visitors will come to appreciate an involved and vibrant life as it unfolded.
Included will be a number of new attributions, 'discovery documents,' otherwise hard-to-find items, and some documents heretofore only available by examining hard copy originals in person in dusty archives.
When complete, this website will provide a comprehensive electronic archive of everything by and about Joseph Warren. In order to divide up the workload of transcribing, providing commentary, and uploading hundreds of documents, this website will launch with a fifth part of Joseph Warren's body of work, then proceed to upload 1-2 documents per week until the archive is complete in two years. "News" will call out compelling items each week.

As said earlier we are no huge fans of these photochop previews, but please judge by yourself: the Audi A5 Sportback which will hit the road in 2010.
According to these latest renderings, the A5 Sportback will feature a five-door configuration but will be much sleeker than traditional Audi Avant wagons. The design appears almost like a four-door coupe but the roomy cabin, tall profile, and sloping hatchback style rear-door ensures the Sportback sits in its own niche.
The base model will remain FWD but AWD variants will feature the latest quattro torque vectoring systems, which distribute drive individually between each axle and between the rear wheels for improved traction and stability. Power will come from the same engines used in the regular A5 lineup, with a 4.2L FSI V8 expected to appear in a range-topping RS5 model.

If you're in the marketing industry, you'll know how rewarding it is, and how instrumental it can be to business success. You'll also know how hard it is to describe what you do to your colleagues. From sales to finance, people outside marketing often answer the question of 'what is marketing?' with 'the fluffy stuff', 'just posters and flyers', or (very uncharitably) 'a drain on our resources' – and apart from being inaccurate, it can result in marketers being seriously under-utilised.
To combat that, at HN we've created a handy guide to explaining the four branches of marketing to your colleagues, and how they benefit your business:
The four branches of marketing:
1. Analytical marketing
All about understanding your customers' needs, behaviours and values, using research and insight. It helps us decide what to sell, who to sell it to, and how to position it best to the customer.
2. Operational marketing
Putting systems and processes in place to manage the marketing process and ensure its effectiveness. This ensures that marketing provides a solid ROI and does what it says it does.
3. Marketing planning
Optimising your budget, improving the way you implement your strategy, and creating targeted value propositions. Not surprisingly, it ensures that we stick to a plan instead of committing random acts of marketing.
4. Creative marketing
The communication of your proposition. The last bit of the process, where we create the flyers, write the copy, and do the 'fluffy stuff' that convinces the customer to buy from us.
And, if you want something a little more artistic to help explain to your colleagues what marketing is, here's four definitions from the HN team themselves:
What do you think marketing is? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

I'm getting my fat ass back in shape with a skipping rope/other such things after a year of sitting on my ass. I use to skip a lot when I took kung fu and was actually in pretty decent shape mostly due to sprints, bag work and skipping.
What I usually cycle between is skipping on both feet, alternating skipping on one foot two to five times (I'm too heavy to skip on one foot for more than ten or more times now like I use to), skipping on one foot then the other and something I started tonight: knees to chest once after every five skips.
I'll have to try the double unders some time soon.

Elena Delle Donne Wins Third WNBA Rookie of the Month Award
September 3, 2013 - Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) - Chicago Sky News Release
CHICAGO, September 3, 2013 -- The WNBA announced Monday that Chicago Sky guard/forward Elena Delle Donne was named Rookie of the Month for August. This is the third Rookie of the Month Award for Delle Donne, as she has captured every Rookie of the Month honor this season.
During the month of August, Delle Donne led the WNBA in three-point percentage, shooting 59.3% behind the arc. She led all rookies in scoring (18.4) and rebounding (5.8).
On August 11, Delle Donne scored a career-high 32 points in an overtime victory against the Western Conference leaders, the Minnesota Lynx. In that game, she hit the game tying three point shot with 4.5 seconds left in regulation forcing overtime. In addition to a career high 32 points she matched her career high in blocks (4), pulled down six rebounds and went a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line.
Delle Donne returned from a foot injury on August 20 with a game high 24 points and eight rebounds in Washington to defeat the Mystics. She recorded her 12th 20-plus point game of the season when she put up 25 points in Atlanta on August 24. She is now tied for eighth all-time alongside Chamique Holdsclaw for rookies with 20-plus point games.
Delle Donne was awarded two WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week Awards during the month of August. She took home the honor for standout performances during the weeks of August 5-11 and August 19-25.
Her efforts over the course of the month helped the Sky clinch their first ever playoff berth in the eight-year history. Delle Donne's 15 points, seven rebounds and two blocked shots to defeat the Atlanta Dream on August 31 assisted the Sky in securing the top seed in the Eastern Conference throughout the playoffs.
The Sky will face the Indiana Fever on Friday, September 6 at Allstate Arena for "Military Night." The 7:30 p.m. game will air on The U Too and WNBA LiveAccess.
Military are invited to attend the Military Veteran Career Fair between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. in the Skyline Room at Allstate Arena preceding the game.

Sometimes I need to take a step back and remember how amazing we have it in a developed country, and have a good laugh at myself for being worried or angry or stressed about relatively minor things. Perfect examples can be found on reddit's First World Problems page. People post their problems that could only happen in a First World country. From reddit:
If it's a problem you can only have if you have money we'll feel bad for you. Then we'll feel guilty for having enough money to have the same problem.
Some favorites from the last time I looked:
- My barista didn't make any patterns with the milk in my latte this morning.
- My electric toothbrush died and now I have to move my arm.
- Some guy was using the middle urinal.
- My favorite song was used on glee…
- I had my shoes shined and one is shinier than the other.
- My plumber installed my toilet seat off-centered.
- I live in the richest country in the world, but everyone keeps telling me it is collapsing, which makes my brow furrow unattractively while I comfortably sip my latte.

The Kenya Chief Justice Willy Mutunga now claims he has received threats from the dreaded Mungiki sect warning him of dire consequences if the courts issued a ruling against Jubilee presidential candidates Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, in their integrity case.
The CJ told journalists on Wednesday that he received a letter on February 18, cautioning him against issuing such a verdict that would stop the two from seeking the presidency.
Mutunga added that the letter, dated February 13, also issued grave threats to ambassadors and judges reminding them of past Mungiki deeds.
He noted that more than five judges had been attacked in the recent pasts with some of the attacks involving lethal weapons.
"My office received a poison pen letter from the Mungiki Veterans Group/ Kenya Sovereignty Defence Squad and it warns against an adversarial ruling on the presidential and deputy presidential candidacy of Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto," he said.
On February 15, two days after the supposed letter was written, the High Court issued a ruling clearing Kenyatta and Ruto.
Mutunga further accused the State of harassment recalling an instance on February 14 when an immigration official tried to bar him from travelling to Dar-es-Salaam since he did not purportedly have clearance from the Head of the Civil Service Francis Kimemia.
He also said that judicial officers were being politically intimidated, ahead of the March 4 general election, but made it clear that he would not be cowed.
"It requires quite some courage, ignorance or political patronage or a combination of all three for an immigration officer, on his own motion, to summon the confidence to stop a Chief Justice from travelling," he said.

National Information
This network has received funding from the European Union.
In Spain, the Clinical Research Ethics Committees (Comités de Ética en Investigación Clínica, CEIC) are the oversight bodies of methodological adequacy, ethical goodness and regulatory compliance regarding research on human subjects. They consist of an independent multidisciplinary group of people whose main role is to impartially assess, research projects involving humans in order to guarantee the protection of participants, ensuring that all projects meet the methodological requirements, respect basic ethical principles and human rights, and comply with the law.
In Spain, a Royal Decree of 1978 named these committees "Clinical Trials Committees" (Comités de Ensayos Clínicos, CEC). This is the first legal text that established that all drug clinical trials were to be evaluated by these committees and, therefore, all centres that would perform such studies should have a CEC.
The Law on Medicinal Products in 1990 and its subsequent development by the Royal Decree 561/1993 changed the name from Clinical Trials Committees to Clinical Research Ethics Committees (Comités de Ética en Investigación Clínica, CEIC) and established the basic and common aspects in terms of composition, functions and working procedures. Accreditation, scope and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were at the discretion of the Autonomous Communities. So, now in Spain, similarly to other neighbouring countries such as the UK, there are institutional or local committees and others of regional level, without implying a hierarchy between them.
Since August 1994 (date of entry into force the Royal Decree 561/1993, about the CEIC) until May 2004 (when the legislation that incorporates the European Directive on clinical trials entered into force) accredited CEICs were completely autonomous, acting independently, and evaluating each and every one of the drug clinical trial protocols to be performed in its scope of action and geographic area.
In May 2004, came into force the Royal Decree 223/2004 transposing the European Directive (20/2001/CE). Although this Royal Decree partially modified some basic criteria CEIC (composition, functions and working procedures), the main change was the implementation of the "Single Opinion", for multicentre clinical drug trials whereby it is only necessary the approval of one CEIC (CEIC of reference) for each EU Member State.
Currently, in Spain there are over 140 accredited CEIC, with many different scopes, and also highly variable levels of activity. It can be summarized in 3 types of CEIC: a first group consisting of a few highly active CEIC (evaluating over 200 drug clinical trials per year), usually acting as Reference Committee (CEIC de referencia, CEIC-Ref.); a second group with intermediate or important activity, but rarely acting as CEIC Ref, and a third group, rather large, of less active CEIC that have never or rarely been CEIC Ref. It is noteworthy that the promoter, primarily the pharmaceutical industry, is the one who chooses who the CEIC Ref. is.
The Oviedo Convention is published in 1997 and comes into force in Spain in 2000. Since the last decade of the twentieth century many CEIC also assessed other research projects involving the use of personal data or human biological samples. This situation led to the creation of Research Ethics Committees (RECs) in Universities and Public Research Organizations (Organismos Públicos de Investigación, OPI). Their mission is to evaluate research projects involving human subjects, personal data or human biological samples (not drug trials). Some of these committees also review research on animals, or other studies that use biological agents or genetically modified organisms.
The Research Ethics Committees of the Universities gather around a network called Network of Ethics Committees in Universities and Public Research Centres in Spain (Red de Comités de Ética de Universidades y Organismos Públicos de Investigación de España, RCE), consisting of 45 committees that hold regular meetings since 2002 (http://www.ub.edu/rceue/index2.htm).
More recently, in July 2007, the Law of Biomedical Research (Ley de Investigación Biomédica, LIB) was enacted. This is a very necessary law as it came to fill a legal vacuum in relation to the ethical evaluation of research projects in human subjects, different from clinical drug trials.
This law designates the Research Ethics Committees (Comités de Ética de la Investigación, CEI) for the review of all types of research projects involving humans, including drugs clinical trials and health products, studies using biological identified or identifiable samples, embryonic material, as well as when handling personal data. According to the LIB, the CEI may also act as an external ethic committee of biobank, ethically evaluating applications for the transfer of samples and data associated with them. The resolution of a CEI is binding, in case of being negative.
To perform these tasks, the law requires that the CEIs have adequate resources and have standard operating procedures (SOPs) for proper operation.
Currently different national institutions are working to reorganize the CEI and make their performance more efficient, for which national legislation is being reviewed according to international amendments (mainly European Union and the United States).
A few months ago the National Association of Research Ethics Committees (Asociación Nacional de Comités de Ética de la Investigación, ANCEI) was formally constituted. The purpose of this organization is to promote the education and further training of those who are or will be part of the CEI. ANCEI aims to be the meeting place for the exchange of experiences related to the theoretical and practical aspects of research ethics in human subjects, for members of the Association and other groups formed for similar purposes, domestic and international.
