I added a few more pictures of Sophia Myles at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) last Sunday as well as a video with brief glimpses of Sophia. She was actually a presenter, she presented Colin Firth with the Best Actor award for his performance in ‘The King’s Speech‘. There are also some pictures from the after party where Sophia posed together with Romola Garai. If you come across more pictures and/or a full video please don’t hesitate to let us know, thank you!

The 13th Moët British Independent Film Awards are taking place right now at the Old Billingsgate Market in London and Sophia Myles is there looking fabulous. I’ve added the first pictures to the gallery – expect more later on.

Want to get even more impatient for the ‘Spooks‘ Series 9 DVD? Amazon.co.uk put an official DVD trailer up on their website as a preview of the DVD extras. There’s already footage of an on set interview with Sophia and of her on the set in general – let’s hope for much more!

Watch it on Amazon.co.uk and don’t forget to pre-order the DVD which is released on February 28, 2011 in the UK!

I can’t believe this year’s series of ‘Spooks‘ is already over! It was an amazing 8 episodes. I admit for obvious reasons I was excited for series 9 like never before for a series of ‘Spooks‘. Still, I can objectively say that it was superb overall. I loved that the show went back to putting multi-layered plots and spy tradecraft above bombs and action. And while I’m still in mourning (not for Sophia’s character, she lives) I thought the tricky character arc of the series was cleverly played out.

Sophia Myles’ character Beth Bailey got one of the most interesting introductions of the show ever and episode 2 explored her background in a unique episode format. Episode 4 saw her learning the ropes and caring for her assett while in episode 5 she got to go undercover and babysit the Palestinean delegation. These to me were standout episodes from a Sophia point of view. While she got to have a few strong moments throughout other episodes her character hasn’t been developed further this series. I can’t wait for 2011 and series 10 to see who Beth Bailey is! Until then, Monday nights will definitely be boring.
