[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Silktie]

Harry in 2.8:

I really liked Harry this episode. He got to show a bit more emotion than he usually does, which was nice to see. Unlike the previous episode, this time round they allowed Harry to show that although he followed orders and made the hard choice to have Curtis shot, he did not make it easily or without feeling a sense of waste. That also came through for me during his argument with Tom - he knew Tom had some valid points but he could not allow him too much leeway as it would undermine Harry's future authority when hard decisions had to be made during operations.

And we got to see him in shirtsleeves and waistcoat a lot, which was a bonus (at least for those of us who like the waistcoats).

His reaction when Ruth confronted him about her secondment was interesting - I can't decide whether it was because he is uncomfortable with women in general making a stand against him, or whether it was because it was Ruth in particular?
