I guess it did seem like the end of series 7 with Malcolm leaving. I always feel people should leave at the end of a series and not the beginning. It's not the Spooks way though, but I can deal with it better.

That's true about Malcolm leaving -- it did signal the end of one era and the beginning of the next.

I think they ask actors who want to leave the show to stay into the beginning of the next series so they can write an adequate leaving scenario. Otherwise, we'd have a lot of Sams, disappearing into the bowels of Thames House never to be seen again.
