The verb that you looked up was to hang.
It SPECIFICALLY STATES that the Past Participle of Hang, in that sense, is HANGED not HUNG.

Correct spelling isn't required either, but it doesn't stop typo's being incorrect.
Anyway, www.dictionary.com is hardly definitive; to the OED!

No, hung is incorrect. It's just entered the dialect because people get it wrong so often.

It wasn't as good as last series.
The dialogue was amazingly badly written, and it oscillated between drama and farce.

Wow, do a search for "hung". Not only do you find Jakiri pointed this out very recently but also that people in Roleplaying are stupid and use it an incredible amouont of times.

Depends how precise you want it.
Might have to do a bit of fourier analysis.

Like most stuff on BBC, the acting was good but everything else was shockingly poor, particularly for something that goes down the "hey lets be cool and have police, terrorism, violence, etc" route.

A State Of Play is far superior to this series of Spooks going by its first episode.

I thought it was okay. They overdid the split screen stuff though.
But yes, SoP was slightly better.
