Ha! I'm very much looking forward to the spy bits. THERE HAS TO BE A SPOOKS CROSSOVER. HAS TO BE.
Oh, I know. I started working one out the first time I was ill and in between my watching marathon I carried on where I left off, but I'm not sure where you start with combining two such sets of awesome.
[Feverish plotting results: Presidential visit to the UK - he can take Toby, Josh and Sam on these things; I think CJ sometimes goes, too, so that is okay. I sort of went 'aha' during my S2 or S3 watching when they came back from a foreign visit...) However, they find that there is a leak in the CIA and therefore they need more input from MI5 to find the traitor (very reluctantly and with much snarkage on both sides), cos they don't know who it is, and the Presidential entourage is diverted to an unplanned location (ostensibly under a request from the President, who is briefed by dodgy CIA chief and Harry about this). I am forgetting my details here, but they think Josh and Sam (and/or Toby also) may have useful information (they really don't) and interview them, and I have forgotten the how and why now, but Sam puts his foot in it (prbably in some unwisely patriotic remark, you know how that goes), and gets trouble from various of the Spooks team, and Josh gets a phone call from Donna who has a thing she thinks isn't worth informing anyone else, but turns out to be important and so we have a Donna-Harry telephone conversation that solves the mystery. There was a thing with the President and the Times crossword, but I forget. Um. This is why you should never write out illness-induced synposes, isn't it? It sounds dreadful!!! I can do (possibly) a plot and think of incidents/exchanges, but I fail at the idea of starting to write it, so I think discussion etc is in order. I need to sort out the timelines of both shows. Spooks, mind, is so bizarre by now, that as long as the WW is post the start of S3 (which opens with an acknowledgment of 9/11), it'll all work out. We may need to campaign on spooky_doings or something.]
