It was great to read (and hear) so much of PF's thoughts on the programme. I love that he seemed to have some influence both over the choice of part and the look of the character, and that he made the choices that he did. I'm impressed, as when I read the book I found Snaith one of the most intriguing characters.

I'm very much looking forward to the cat line!!

Just one thought, though. When PF said "yes" to the question would he go on in Spooks, I picked up some mental image of him not actually having a choice in the matter (ie he might have been written out in S10). I'm sure there was some sort of infinitesmal hesitation there - or is this just paranoia getting the better of me? I spent most of series 9 convinced that either Harry or Ruth would not make it. It played havoc with my nerves and I spent most of ep8 holding my breath. What does anyone else think of his response?

I didn't detect any hesitation in PF's voice. I really don't think they're writing him or Ruth out of season 10. This is going to be the season where they get together. The writers absolutely have to do it.
