I liked it when Lucas spoke about his time in a Russian prison, he has never really spoken a great deal about his time there, apart from the initial debrief with Ros and Harry, and when talking down Oleg Darshavin.

I agree HellsBells.

The acting in this episode was superb. PF really made you feel Harry's frustration and utter desolation at being betrayed by yet another of his officers - and one who had a special place in his affections, too! He must be really doubting his ability to manage section D after this bombshell. RA was hypnotic; his portrayal of a man coming apart, torn by loyalties to completely separate lives, is nothing short of a masterpiece. He could have gone all melodramatic, wailing and crying, but no, it is all in the facial expressions, sometimes oh so subtle. NW was also fantastic this week (isn't she always?) so I agree with an earlier poster who said it would be wrong to single anyone out for an acting BAFTA - as much as I long for Richard to get one!
