Very good fifth episode. Makes the final one a must watch.

One thing though, for supposedly such a clever man, Roper must be a bit of a doughnut to not realise Pine's the dodgy one. It's glaringly obvious.

Also, the BBC is reporting the final episode has been leaked online. Please don't discuss it here until it's been officially aired. I would hate it spoilt for me.

I was actually disappointed by the fifth episode,

Lots of fireworks but not sure about how the plot is developing. Acting and dialogue in places does make me wonder how good it really is too. Still enjoyable but I don't think it's the best thing since sliced bread

I thought the weapons display was very good. I'd like to know how they did that. Looked like pretty real weapons, but the BBC wouldn't be given access to hardware like that would they?
 
I enjoy this show, but anyone else think the romantic element is just ruining it? For me romance in spy movies is just the "why you do that you idiot" moment.
Yeah i'm undercover ofc i'll making off with the bosses girl...its just plain stupid and such a cliche it takes away half the enjoyment for me.

Where was the ****** ending?! In some shows the journey is good enough that the destination doesn't matter. This was not such. Given the way it ended it's almost as if the relationship between Pine and Jed was actually meant to be the main theme. Gentleman vegetables to that, completely unbelievable and a completely uninteresting side plot, or so I though. I was waiting for one of them to betray the other, or some hideous twist where Pine went rogue on everyone or Roper killed Pine but then got done properly. Any form of closure. Not Roper getting carted off by the Egyptians who won't kill him anyway because then they'd never get their money. No ending regarding Riverhouse or redemption for Neil Morissey, or Red. Not impressed
 
I've skipped All the way to the end of this thread because I didn't want spoilers. But seriously what is it with the BBC removing their programs from iPlayer so quickly? The girlfriend and I finally decided we'd give it a go, having seen the last episode was on tonight and there was some excitement over it. Turn on iPlayer and the first episode has been removed :rolleyes: What a waste of time.. Why remove it so quickly?
 
One thing that sort of bothered me:

I don't remember them ever giving him a license to kill :p. He just killed two people in cold blood and no one cared? :p Bad people they may be, but it sort of ***** on the whole being on the right side of the law type thing.

It's the usual practice with their shows to disappear after a month.

Yeah I've seen it before but how stupid. That 800mb file is hardly going to cost them much to stay up on their servers is it! Storage and bandwidth are cheap as chips.. They need a rethink on that policy I think...

They may have thought Roper had young Freddie killed, and knowing he was being arrested and there would be no chance of getting their money back, they took their chance to make him suffer a horrible death.
 
I still find it hard to believe that Roper had been doing this for quite sometime, and only when a new guy shows up does all this kick off. Wouldn't take a genius to put 2 and 2 together.
 
Three episodes into this and I'm very much enjoying it!

My only experience of Tom Hiddleston is his Loki from Marvel movies, he's excellent in this, as is Hugh Laurie.
