Any idea when Season 8 of Spooks will be starting on BBC ONE?:)

Nothing official yet, but hopefully around end of this/beginning of next month....

I was just about to ask the very same question!! Currently watching the previous series on Watch - they were showing series 4, and starting next Wednesday 9pm, they will be showing series 5

looking forward to series 8!

This month would be good - I'm suffering from acute RAD (Richard Armitage Deprivation)..:D:o:D

I'm betting on the first week in november!

Talk about deja vue - there was exactly the same question posted in this forum about 4 hours before yours.

Anyway, this is what I said in that other topic about this

Series 7 is out on DVD on the 12th Oct. In the past, the DVD of the previous series has been released within a week or two of the new series starting.

The Monday night 9pm slot though (where they normally show it if memory serves me) has a new David Attenborough series though starting on the 12th.

Tuesday at 9pm has a Children in Need tie-in program starting on the 13th. Presumably this would just be 3 or 4 episodes leading up to Children in Need night though - so it could get this spot after that's finished?

Wednesdays has feature length crime dramas on from 8pm to 9.30

Thursday is still showing New Tricks and I doubt they'll show it on Friday (9pm comedy hour) or over the weekend.

I could see it taking the Thursday 9pm slot after New Tricks finishes - that must be soon now isn't it?

For guidance, last year S7 started on Mon 27th Oct, with the 2nd episode on the 28th, and then each Monday until 8th Dec.

BBC Programme Info is now on the website for 24th-30th October, still no Spooks mentioned.

Richard Armitage interview in next weeks tv guide says end of October for new "Spooks".

It has to be within a week of that or else it won't fit before Christmas (even allowing for a double episode in one week, as happened with S7).

New Radio Times today has it listed as "next week" i.e. week of Monday 26 October.

At last!!:D

Thank goodness, I was beginning to think it would never return.

(Thanks for the info, by the way).

In which case it's moving nights (back to Thursday) as the other 9pm slots are all filled and New Tricks finishes the week earlier so that fits nicely. So Thursday 29th at 9pm looks like the night.

Up against "The Bill" on ITV1.

[Deleted User] · 14/10/09 - 01:08

Sucks it's up against The Bill because I am liking the new The Bill - I wish they wouldn't put one genre up against similar (crime) because there are people who like certain genres.

I am liking Armitage so far. I still miss Matthew Macfadyen - really liked him! I never could warm to Rupert Penry Jones for some reason

Still think it should be mondays. It's always been like that though! Mondays at 9pm...

I think they should always leave the programs on the nights they've always traditionally been on.

You get used to looking on that night for it for a start and wouldn't nec think to check a thursday night. I don't know why the BBC suddenly decided to turn Thursday night into a crime night, well I do of course, ITV went post water shed with the Bill. Is it really worth both their veiwing figures suffering though by being up against each other. But there again after the first episode of spooks they then have them all repeated on bbc4 as well with the first run being straight after.

I wonder if they'll show S7 on bbc4 before, I seem to remember they did it one series. I'd at least like the final episode of S7 as a reminder of the cliff hanger, I was watching it on btv a coupe of months ago but didn't realise it was almost out of date and didn't get to see it all so I want a reminder of whose still alive at the end.

Finally we have a date! Ive been rationing my unseen episodes from series 7 in the run up to series 8 lol! Now I can watch them without the dread of running out of spooks this autumn lol..

Electrat · 14/10/09 - 09:44

Has anyone seen any promo-ing for this yet? It all seems a bit quiet at the moment.
