This was posted in the Telegraph this Monday. Sorry for the off-topic but it is about Spooks, and amusing in a black-humour kind of way. The writer made an enormous blunder about the big star, though.

Jack whistled quietly, and Ianto sighed. Over the radio Gwen's voice was impatient. "Can you see him yet?"

"Oh yes." Jack was smugly lecherous. "I can definitely see him. Ianto, can you get us any nearer?"

"No!" Ianto turned off the ignition. "You can see the poor sod quite well enough from here."

"So what does he look like, then, boys? Come on!"

"He looks magnificent." Jack murmured. "He looks heroic, and dangerous, and just a little bit mad. He looks.."

"Like Richard Armitage." Ianto interrupted. "Because it is Richard Armitage."

"Bloody hell!" from over the radio. "I think you'd better bring him in."

"Richard Armitage?" Jack was looking at Ianto, bewildered.

"Yes. Guy of Gisborne. From Robin Hood. You know, the BBC one."

"Kids' stuff." Jack waved a dismissive hand. "Never seen it. "

Ianto bridled slightly, let it go. "Well, that is Armitage, playing Guy, Third season."

Jack opened the car door, slid out. The man in the headlights lifted his sword and charged and Jack was back in his seat with the door slammed shut before Ianto could blink.

"That is not Richard Armitage." he said, firmly.

"How would you know? You never saw the show, you said?"

Gwen's voice said, somewhat plaintively, "I'd settle for someone who looked like Richard, if that's all that's going."

"Be quiet, immoral woman. You're happily married, and we're working here." Jack peered through the windscreen again at the still figure outside. "I have seen Armitage in other things, you know."

"Like what?" Ianto's eyes didn't leave the dark figure with its back to the alley wall.

Jack murmured something, muffled. "What did you say?" Ianto turned to look at his partner.

"I might have seen Spooks, Once or twice. Research purposes. Anyway, why would Richard Armitage be trying to decapitate me?"

I originally posted this on 1st July, but then messed up the cut and did all manner of thick things, so I pulled it, sorted it out and - here it is again! It's very long - sorry - but I'm too dumb to be able to split it into sections. It's mainly a character study of Guy, but with a bit of Izzy chucked in for good measure.

Chapter Thirty-Five

Lucas was going to speak of his inspired revenge but the words stuck in his throat.  He was captivated peering over her shoulder with rapt fascination putting his free hand on her hip as she covered his hand with both of hers. Slowly straightening up, Lori guided his hand with the ice cube up her chest on to her neck and then over the chin finally landing on her lips leaving behind a wet trail that made her skin glisten.
