Respectable but overall down on last year without question due to clash with Downton Abbey.

Not so sure DA was the only cause for the drop for those final numbers. (Although I do agree it was daft scheduling) Spooks fans would have found it/recorded it. Plus it got a rerun during the week and in the age of sky++, it doesn't matter so much.

If we take our minds off the controversy of the series finale, we may recall the furry over the S9 ending and the farce of the Lucas is John storyline. I do believe this lost Spooks a few hundred thousand fans at least going into s10 who had lost faith in the show/the new writing team and weren't prepared to give s10 a chance. Which is a shame but clearly shows an audience will vote with their feet. (Or remote control, in this case.)
