Product placement in BBC's Spooks

Think someone on here has already mentioned Adam's Carrera Chrono and Harry's Speedy. With tonight's episode counting down to a bomb blast, we keep getting close-ups - Adam's Carrera again and the IRA bombmaker wearing what seems to be a Breguet Aeronavale.

And now Harry's Speedy plays a vital role in counting down to the explosion...

i am glad i am not the only one who notice's these things and comments on them, my wife kept telling me off as i kept pointing out the watches in tonights episode,

need to get speedmaster, still hunting,

Given tonight's close-ups, how could we not notice?

[The Leaper]

Yep, interesting that in a single episode a key role is taken by three watches.

A Speedie has been on my wish list for years (I missed out on one at Singapore Airport in 1999, special sale £550, damn etc). I've not been a fan of the TAG Carrera but it looked pretty good on the tv tonight.

Ditto and, as much as my wife likes Adam, I'm secretly quite chuffed that Harry Pierce and I wear the same watch...

I've been driving her around the bend with the sky+ pause button trying to catch a shot of their watches over the past few weeks. Such a geek...

We are sooo sad!!

[Spice_Weasel]

Yep! Some thought has gone into this by the production team. The Speedy suits Harry's character and the Breguet was a stroke of genius for the IRA bloke - singling him out as a bit different in his choices and his vanity.

don't think it was a breguet - well not one I've seen.

I'm sure it was one of these Aeromatic 1912
