Wow, a bushfire! That's the most original excuse I've ever heard for not watching an episode

Tariq seems to be a more popular character then Ben - even though we similarly knew very little about Ben. Wasn't it because everyone hated Ben because he got on their nerves? I feel sorry for Tariq - he's not involved in the episodes much, and hasn't got as much of a presence as Malcolm had - Malcolm came on screen and you assumed that he had just spent the last couple of hours researching the information, generally being Malcolm. When Tariq walks in, I just assume he went out for a cup of coffee and has returned.

I think Oleg ordered the guy's execution as soon as he spoke to Lucas, so purely coincidental that Ros was there when it happened. As for Oleg being handed back to the Russians, I would say that if MI5 hadn't given him back, the FSB would have been more likely to launch an attack on British soil, so showing Britain to the FSB as a country it could work with rather than against.

Nightingale? Was that the name of the organisation? (It's too early to be up at the weekend!)
