Series 10 confirmed

[A Cousin]

10 years is a damn good run by any standards. Dr Who (Yea!) and the Eastenders (Oi!) aside, is a 10 year run relatively long in the UK? It is a good and healthy run here in the US, but it doesn't feel very unusual to me.

This is mostly a rhetorical question but I wonder if it would have made it to 10 years without Harry? It has always been able to redefine itself with characters coming and going, but that through-line has always been there. Maybe if they had lost him after S2 it would have been OK. But by the end of S3, that character had deeply ensconced itself into the fiber of the show.
