And for the action Dimitri, though only known from one series before, is the only one who could be known at all. Lara Pulver would not yet be recognised by viewers to belong to MI-5...

Good points lottanyman. It's all marketing and publicity. We rabid fans may be lapping up and gnawing on every bit of intel there is but the other 6M viewers (give or take the odd 100,000 ) very well may not have any idea re: new casting. Of the S9 field team (Lucas, Beth and Dimitri), he is the only familiar face left.

I am perfectly fine with him featuring a bit more strongly in S10. (If indeed he does. As mentioned, this may only be clips from one, perhaps even the first, episode.) Why not? The disposal of officers only to have another step into the blank space has been a Spooks device from the moment poor Helen went swimming for the last chip/french fry.
