Series 9 Episode 4 discussion

Regarding Ruth rumbling Lucas in this episode, I think that it is just signposting on the part of the writers. Let's face it, someone has got to have an inkling that he's not right. Harry's preoccupied with his midlife crisis, Beth and Dimitri don't really know the guy and Tariq is lost in technology. That leaves Ruth.

I think we forget sometimes that we are not your average viewer. Most people just watch it and take it all on face value. At various times in our house we people from 10-74 years watching this show. We may laugh at the way the characters have lines that point out the bleeding obvious, but trust me some folk need that just to keep up!

So that's why I think we have Ruthie with her 'looking suspicious' face on in the corridor. Sort of a 'DA DA DAAAA' moment for dramatic effect.
