Alternative Ending

Perhaps an alternative was filmed? In case of leaks? I always thought Harry would cop it (is that better or worse, I don't know but somehow less despairing and more definitive?? I hate the pain they've left him in.)

Or for a happier route - keep the scene as is and perhaps a certain person answers the phone/ a voice over etc. would be simple and wouldn't involve a reshoot which seems highly unlikely.

I LOVE the idea of the choice of another ending. I know many would be critical of that, but many would also be thrilled. That way, the fans who are happy now can go on being happy and ignore the alternative ending. The devastated fans can select another cut on the DVD and nobody has to compromise themselves. Spooks is many things, to many different people. This IS fiction after all and as such, anything should be possible.

I think the depth of feeling over this show should be understood and not underestimated (whether you agree or not - that is fact) Spooks got personal with people like no other TV show I've seen.

Many people have been left dissatisfied and in honesty quite a bad taste in the mouth over the manipulation of a sub plot. They should've left H&R unscripted and not meddled with it to avoid this. I want everyone to treasure and celebrate spooks for themselves, in their own ways and I don't want that to be spoiled by the last 10 mins of 10 years! IMHO.
