Thames Water watched this week’s episode of the BBC TV spy thriller Spooks with more than academic interest.
The episode – which was screened last Wednesday after this magazine went to press – had a storyline that centred partly on a terrorist plot to poison London’s water supply.
Disconnector’s colleagues understand that Thames declined a request to film near the water company’s facilities.
However, those who have already seen the episode in question on digital TV insist that a Thames Water site is clearly caught on camera in the show.
You win some, you lose some, evidently.
