MI5 chief Sir Ken McCallum declares himself a 'Slow Horses man'

Sir Ken McCallum says he is a fan of the show that has been described as the anti-James Bond.

The director general of MI5 has described himself as a "Slow Horses man", saying he is a fan of the spy thriller TV series.

The Apple TV+ show, described by some critics as the anti-James Bond, stars Sir Gary Oldman as the crude boss of a team of failed or disgraced MI5 agents who have been banished to a building called Slough House.

In a video post on MI5's official Instagram account, Sir Ken McCallum was asked "what do you really think about your friends over the river at MI6?"

"You might want to say there is room for both James Bond and Slow Horses," he said, adding "I happen myself to be a Slow Horses man".

He said: "I suppose maybe the person who wrote the question wanted to hear that there's some rivalry or whatever – the truth is they are our friends, they are our colleagues."

River Cartwright, consistently falling and getting up.

[nbcreates29]

seven (or some) sentences sunday-

from my big bang:

First thing: he’s going to drive himself to work despite being late because if he has to look at the same people getting on and off, he thinks he really will be physically sick and that’s something no one has to see. 

He hastily dresses, giving Catherine and Louisa messages of assurance before getting in his car and planning his next moves. When he gets to Slough House, he tries to carefully open and close the door so he doesn’t give Shirley a fright. 

He still doesn’t like her but at this point, he doesn’t dislike her and the fact that she saved his best (or, really, only) friend's life, that pushes her up in his books. 

He walks by their offices and up to Lamb’s office, knocking before entering without invitation. 

“Yes, Cartwright, come in. I can’t stress enough how much I love having a chat with you,” he says, eyes still remaining shut. 

“Tell Taverner to call off the stakeout,” he demands and that, at least, causes Lamb to open his eyes.

free my girl she did all that and that’s what makes her such a compellingly complex character. that’s her essence

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

“if you love this character then you must make him happy in your fics, right?” wrong. the horror. suffering. internal hemorrhage. hospital. immediately

[exhuastedpigeon]

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?
