Some months ago i discovered that all #Spooks series are available on #SBSOnDemand. A few nights ago i began streaming it, my first time since it was broadcast in Straya in the early Oughties. OMZ!

  • the violence is still extremely confronting
  • it's very challenging to rewatch it now, aware of how badly the world has gone even further down the toilet in the intervening decades
  • those two negatives noted, it feels simply delightful to reacquaint myself with much loved characters from way back when
  • one such appeared in two S1 eps, & at his initial appearance we heard him before we saw him. At the very first strains of his distinctive voice i sat bolt upright, giggled & clapped like a loony, then more so once his face was revealed. I just adore the exceedingly accomplished #HughLaurie.
  • another such has just made her debut now, early in S2 E2, & again i giggled & clapped. She entered the meeting room in the most #Ruthie way possible; late, flustered, holding far too many files & papers pressed to her chest which she predictably dropped clumsily, & already manifesting that wonderful distinctive half-smile nervous disposition & inappropriately exuberant demeanour. Welcome oh truly magnificent [young!] #RuthEvershed (#NicolaWalker) 💜

I'm so looking forward to re-meeting all the other future regulars.

No, i don't get out much...

Just finished #BeingHuman S3E5, The Longest Day ... the one to which i alluded in infosec.exchange/@MsDropbear42. OMZ i love watching #NicolaWalker! She absolutely owns every role she's in.

It amuses me retrospectively. When i saw BH the first time, oh so long ago now, the only other thing i'd seen NW in at that stage was the incomparable #Spooks. Hence it was surreal for me to then take in her wonderfully bumbling harried social worker Wendy, & not get constantly distracted at the severe juxtaposition with her utterly competent professional Ruth.

Now though, this time around, rewatching this episode & all BH before it, she's so much more to behold & consider. She's Ruth, Wendy, Cassie, Gillian, Jackie "Stevie", Hannah, & Annika. She's so much those roles, yet always, she still manages to inject a sense of whimsy, hesitancy, & quirk that's distinctly NW; the body mannerisms, the facial tics, the mouth creases with that amazing nervous half-smile she does. I've no idea what she's like IRL, but from all these roles, with these commonalities, i rather suspect it'd feel pretty much like we see on tele.
