i didn't realise that - it certainly is a more puzzling prospect.

I don't think we should assume Lucas is leaving because of RA's other work. I don't know when Spooks 9 finished production, but I am pretty sure Peter Jackson was not in The Hobbit picture then and I don't think TH was even a goer at that time.

Even if RA was wanting to exit, I would have thought the is he/isn't he bad would have been the thing to be the cliff hangar in s10 and he might leave early on then. What other story can we see providing the cliff hanger to the next series.

If the H/R and Lucas threads reach a conclusion this series, I tend to think it is more likely to be because they were not certain there will even be a 10th series at time of production of S9.

I am also not prepared to condemn the writers at this stage, I still hope there will be a good resolution to Lucas that will not see him leave in disgrace. A last minute, spur of the moment act to save Harry or Ruth would be more of a cop out than a consolation, so I hope they don't go with something as trite as that.
