Did I or did I not just see Peter Firth in an episode of The Magnificent Seven? What in the hell...?

*checks IMDb*

Holy shit, I did. Peter Firth. Well, I never.

I did actually leap up from my chair and yelp, "Harry?" Because, dude. Harry Pearce. Peter Firth. In The Magnificent Seven. What the hell?

( Quite apart from Peter Firth, this episode has two very awesome things... )

Apparently Peter Firth and Rupert Penry-Jones are supposed to be on Top Gear tonight. Peter Firth! On Top Gear!

*dies happy*

And dammit, I don't have any Spooks icons anymore. Damn. Just imagine it's a Spooks icon, okay?

It's so weird seeing Peter Firth playing Vespasian - I'm just so used to him as Harry Pearce now! He really suits the role. Although I'm not used to seeing him smile quite so much!

But anyway, they're talking about how hard Harry is on Ruth in this episode, and in the commentary the executive ( Read more... )

I was just browsing through the BBC's press pack for the fourth season of Spooks, and eeeeee! They describe Ruth as a 'potential claimant of Harry's affections' and say she 'harbours feelings for Harry'. Eeeeee! See, it is canon!

Having said that, it also says that it will never go anywhere and that it's an unrequited flirtation. *pouts* Is not. At ( Read more... )

I have my Spooks season 3 DVD. I'm happy.

And oh, the writers are talking about Ruth and Harry's unwritten, unspoken romance. Bless. See, I knew I wasn't imagining it. Between Nicola Walker and Peter Firth on the interviews last season and the writers this season, I'm content with that. At least they acknowledge its existence. 'Cause they really ( Read more... )
