So Nitrus has been very kind and put some of the scripts up for us to read, what do you think of them compared to the final shooting? I was shocked and annoyed about how much Ros/Adam they had missed out of 6.1 Angry

Yeh there was quite a bit cut from the episodes, there always is with TV.

In Series 7 they cut out scenes where we find out more about Adam's past.

Where can I find those scripts (sorry i'm lame,looked for it, but didn't find anything) I would love to read those especially the ros/adam parts..hehehe... I know I have issues with them!

The scripts are located on the scripts page of this forum.

Under the header image is a navigation menu, where there is a button for "Scripts" click there & they are there.

Did they completely change the end of the episode where Fiona dies? Because I think on the scripts it says that the plane takes off, but falls into the see, whereas in the actual aired episode doesn't she get shot by her ex-husband?

The scripts on that page are the very first draft scripts which were presented to the producers.

Things change, sometimes it's just lines.. sometimes it's whole scenes.

I think they way it was in the actual episode is better where Fiona's death is concerned.

Agreed. Having her die in Adam's arms has much more dramatic impact than hearing a voice over the radio.
