Series 9 Episode 2 discussion

[Tea Lady]

First point, I may have missed this last week, but the re-cap bit at the start of 9.2 showed Dimitri on the Grid in a sling. Did I miss that bit last week??

Well, I thought the format worked really well. I loved the Beth and Lucas sections. The Chapman bit was quite short but that was ok too. I thought it was very clever.

I think Beth showed two sides to herself here. Her tradecraft is good. Especially when she thought to take the mobile phone, but she is still quite naive. Trusting that Chapman bloke and thinking she could just delete security service records like that, without getting found out.

Liked the Harry bit at Foxhills when he took the bag off Westhouse. Class act, that he booked him and his wife a dinner table. I assume that went on taxpayers expenses.

I do agree though that the release of the Foxhills photos did spoil the ending a little, and I guessed they would not be able to carry another storyline of Harry getting shot.

The Lucas thing is getting a little more interesting and I loved the Harry handshake moment. I am still not totally convinced Harry trusts him though. Clearly Lucas wants "A" clearance to look at files for his own ends.

Not much of Dimitri or Tariq this week although I liked the Tariq shark joke. That's two jokes about sharks in two weeks !!
