Talk:List of Spooks episodes

message: Season 8, Episode 1
The article states that:
"Harry is brought to the Sacred Army of Righteous Vengeance, a terror group."
In actual fact it is a group led by an Indian Intelligence Bureau officer posing as S.A.R.V.  in order to throw the off the scent in the quest to find Harry.  This was discovered by the new Technician and Data Analyst of Section D, Tariq Masood, who analyses the speech patterns within the faked footage of Harry's execution.
Would anyone like to confirm/edit this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.171.253.95 (talk) 17:11, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Incorrect Episode Content

message: I notice the episode list is being cleaned up a bit. To those editing this article, please leave in the episode descriptions - other than the episode name, I (and I'm sure many others), find it to be very useful in remembering which episode was which without having to look through all the main episode pages. Thanks. Jaws87 19:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Episode descriptions and titles

message: So far, in the 2007 series, each episode on BBC1 (Tuesdays at 21:00) has been followed by the following episode at 22:30 on BBC3.
The final episode, does not appear to be being broadcast on BBC3 - certainly not at 22:30 the same evening.
As one who is often out when the BBC1 programme is broadcast, and who likes to record something else that's on at that time, I am anxious to know whether the final episode will be broadcast on BC3 - and if so, when.
I cannot find this information on the BBC website.--80.177.28.141 (talk) 02:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Wikipedia isn't a forum / helpdesk for discussing things like this. That said, the final episode is not previewed in advance on BBC Three. Whether it is repeated later on BBC Three, I don't know. The best way to find out (and you'll have to do it in the week before the episode) is to use the BBC What's On guide at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/whatson/search/advance_search.cgi?keyword=spooks. ~~ [Jam][talk] 09:39, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: BBC three screenings

message: All Spooks episode articles are in an extremely poor shape, and I already merged several stubs here. The other articles consist of overlong plot summaries with no (sourced) critical commentary or production information, so they violate WP:NOT#PLOT. I am unable to determine WP:NOTABILITY. This LoE already has summaries for most of them, so redirection is sufficient for most individual episode articles (but there is no template for redirection proposals). Comments or volunteers for article improvement before I proceed? – sgeureka t•c 18:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm. Allegedly, there is a WikiProject associated with the Spooks articles. Anyway, I'd support merging (there is some RW info, such as viewers bawling about characters being killed off) and redirection. Although, if anyone (say, a member of the Spooks WP) made the effort, some wonderful season articles could be created, especially for the more recent serialised series.

replies: text: On notability; they play in the UK and USA to large ratings and any series that has run for seven multi episode series must have financial support that strongly suggests notability. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 15:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The notability of episodes is questioned here, not that of the series. The New York Times is read by over a million people each day, but nearly no issue is ever notable enough for its article. – sgeureka t•c 15:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I would be for the merge, most of the episode articles are just a plot. The only really interesting bit of information might be notable celebrity appearances but that could be included on this page. Also the wikiproject appears to be inactive. --Lemming64 22:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger/redirection of articles 

message: There doesn't appear to be any episode titles for season 7, as you can see here they are all referred to simply as episode #. --Lemming64 16:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless we can find a reliable source for any of the titles given here, I think they should be removed and replaced with Series #, Episode #. ~~ [ジャム][talk] 00:13, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

text: In which case, they are the US titles - not the UK ones. Also, it has been mentioned before that the US titles don't always match the UK "development" titles anyway, so they aren't really reliable. Anyway, I'll keep them there for now but please source them. ~~ [ジャム][talk] 20:12, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  season 7 episode titles 

message: http://www.britannia.org/TVArchives/episodes/00001482/
English working titles for the first 4 seasons.
We don't need to individually source each name - it would look weird (put the source somewhere at the top).
London prophet (talk) 00:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither of these appear to be reliable sources. The first one seems to be a fan built website (judging by the "About ASH" section) and I can find nothing to say who developed the second site. ~~ [ジャム][talk] 09:50, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names for episodes: 

message: In the episode "The Seventh Division", the deaths of two Customs & Excise agents are shown (actually, their deaths per se are not shown, but they are shown dead). Later in the episode, however, Harry Pearce mentions that a total of eight had been killed, in separate incidents, by the Chala Cartel. Should the plot summary reflect what was shown (2 deaths) or what was said (eight deaths)? –Black Falcon (Talk) 06:09, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Seventh Division 

message: Hi there,
There seems to be something happening with the episode titles for Series 4. They are completely different to when I recorded them off Wikipedia a year or so ago. It appears that someone has substituted the American titles in place of the English ones. My list is as follows:
1. Surreal World
2. The Possibility of a Mole
3. Campaign of Terror
4. Infiltration of a New Threat
5. A Journalist, a Minister and a Conservative Group
6. Beyond the Cell
7. Where Trouble Lies
8. Traitor in a Friend
Episodes 9 and 10 (The Sting and Diana respectively) appear unchanged.
Does anyone know what's going on?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gemg52 (talk • contribs) 07:38, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you see the those numbers straight after the title (like [27])? Those are sources I have put in place. They are linked to the BBC website. I cannot find a source (at least reliable) to prove the titles you put down are accurate. -- Matthew RD 18:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
