They spend the whole episode telling us that these are "secret" talks, nobody can know the President is involved and yet the 2 delegations plus their security details stand outside a major London hotel waiting for the big black limos with the American flags!!

Yes, totally agree that that was daft. Also daft was Beth not demanding to see the work order for the CCTV camera, or checking in with base as to whether it's expected. Trouble is, I guessed that the daughter was behind it and just had to wait for everyone else to catch up.

This ep a bit better re. Harry time but there's still too much Lucas and not enough Harry in this series for my liking! Sorry RA fans...but I want more PF!!

Worst bit: Harry referring to the US president as the "leader of the free world". AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!: No self-respecting Brit would ever refer to the American president as the leader of the free world, least of all someone who works alongside the CIA! Writers obviously trying to appeal to the American market. Utterly ridiculous garbage and I'm still fuming. :
