Series DVD extra Spoiler: show
The executive producer, the writer and NW did the commentary for 9.7 and they discussed the plot hole about John managing to pass himself as Lucas when joining MI5. They basically had no explanation how this would be possible saying it might happen and that they would 'just go with it'. This is possibly the worst piece of writing I have come across, surely if you have an idea there has to be a way to explain it in the story. This seems so wrong that an important part of the story can not be justified.

Ha! I knew from the way they just glossed over how John Bateman managed to fool the system into becoming Lucas North, that they had no explanation or else they would have taken time to explain how he did it.

A quick little blurb was all they had, hoping that it would somehow satisfy viewers to suspend their disbelief. Dodgy

This is one central piece that holds the foundations of this story together, if they can't even bother to think it through and explain, why the hell did they start this crap in the first place! Angry
