LOL I thought he was peeved because Lucas kidnapped Ruth...

But yeah, I agree. I remember RA saying that he keeps like a small diary of all these little backstories and notes for Lucas he has over the years he is playing the characters, that must have been a shock to him to be playing the character one way for so many years and then being handed a script that says, "here you go, you're not Lucas North"

I think RA's first impression of the script says it all "What?"

I get that Spooks never dwells so much on personal histories and relationships, but when a script like this calls for a struggle of beliefs and faith between two characters like Harry and Lucas, the lack of exploration between the two crumbles the foundation of this storyline.

RA and PF did the best they can to make these characters believable but the writers failed to provide a logical and meaningful backdrop for these characters to have a final confrontation.
