Producers. So that's hustle replaced. They also announced 3 other drama commissions
All noticeably 6 episodes long. Perhaps this is new policy and therefore no
indication cutting spooks to 6 means last series?

One of these new commissions is also a Spy series, so I'm hoping they're just building on what they know is a winning formula, and not something to replace Spooks.

I think decisions on recommission are usually made much later in year, when series is transmitting" - So looks like it'll all be down to viewing figures so get everyone you know watching Spooks ha ha. Unfortunately it probably means we get a cliffhanger at the end that may never be answered if they cancel after this series sniff.

To be fair to Sam even if he does Know he's probably not allowed to say either way until Kudos say's he can. He's kind of damned if he does and damned if he doesn't, us Spooks fans are good at analysing everything, me included, its part of the fun.
Good on you for asking Jacko.

I always felt that the end of 9.8 was an afterthought, (I mean the part after Lucas throws himself off the building). We had Ruth's tears which coud have been for Lucas or for Harry or just a general over flowing of emotion. Then we had that hotch potch of a roof top scene with Harry talking into his phone which quite frankly was just a heavily edited version of 9.1's ending. That had to have been created by computer after Kudos knew that series 10 had been commisioned. Otherwise there would have been another Harry and Ruth scene to tie up loose ends.

I do hope if they're going to use that method again, they do it with a bit more elegance. Wouldn't it be better to film two endings?

I agree two endings would be much better.
I do wonder what they had planned to do, wasn't it said the ending had changed, and PF did say they had been told to wind down the character of Harry. I'm assuming that meant there was some uncertainty, but it did continue and that's always hopeful IMO.
