[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[JHyde]

It's funny you call it fate, Elphie, because I was thinking just today that one of the things I don't like about Spooks is that for all intents and purposes without a showrunner. I mean, who do we actually direct these pleas to? The executive producers have changed about on Spooks quite a bit and one of the things I do think American shows get right is having someone who can look after the show from season to season. (The creator of Spooks left in season 3.)

Then again, Spooks is heading into its ninth year. That's a long time. But it is no longer the prime racehorse in Kudos' stable.

I think going a season without resolving the HR storyline is fine after what happened in 8.1. But going another would be silly, I agree.

I'm not sure they can 'hurry up' too much though. They're still filming! It's not Spooks is a show with 24 episodes a season, it takes a long time to come around again so it feels like longer to us.
