HOLLYSPOOKS


There's nothing worse than tarnishing a brand with a cheap spin off. Everyone should have learned that lesson by now. Did nobody hear of Baywatch Nights? Anyway, launched amid a pile of publicity came Spooks: Code 9. The BBC3 thing should have given it away. Rubbish. Such a disappointment from people who make one of my favourite programmes ever. They should be ashamed to call it Spooks anything. Lame acting, wafer thin plot that has been done before, and all round thumbs down. Cliche anyone? There's plenty to go around. Attractiveness does not make for a good show when it is supposed to be dealing with edgy issues. Save it for Hollyoaks. I give Spooks Code 9 a massive 1/10 and look forward to the real thing coming back in a couple of months.
