Theory on recent events on Spooks

[mools]

it is really a subversive action by the writers!

Everytime a character is killed off interest in, and applications for, the Security Services drops, and when a female character dies it puts women off applying. So my theory is this:

The writers are actually wanting to reduce the numbers of people applying to reduce the number of spies and so they kill off characters to make it seem an unattractive career option.

Of course it wouldn't work for me if I truly thought MI5 officers all looked like Adam or Lucas... or I was a British Citizen
