This is a still from episode 2 when Harry is working late and Ruth phones him:

It's the same bit of film. Me thinks Kudos was trying to save costs this year!

This is very odd. I've never noticed them do this in Spooks before. I can't believe they didn't shoot enough footage. Haven't we been told that frequently they have too much! I know I sound like a broken record here but they must have deleted part of this episode and found they needed a couple of more minutes footage, but couldn't use the footage they had shot. To have two scenes in one episode means something wasnt right surely with the final version they had. I can't think of any other reason they would do this as they know it is bound to be noticed and disappoint fans. I really hope this issue is raised in pre-season interviews for S10.
