RE: [spoilers] Harry and Ruth
Beatriz! Be confident! Harry and Ruth will pull through! (Oh dear, how sad does that sound...)

Done my 5th SfaY story about HR Smile Feel free to read - I doubt I'll post it up here because soon the fanfiction section really will be taken over by my (HR) stories, but here's a link if you're interested. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5528077/1/

DANNY - Placements all over the shop. Back up vehicles, chopper support if we need it. Bomb disposal with a signal jammer for Mary’s trademark remote control blasts. And Tom here’s doing the catering. Mate. You are so covered.

Nitrus just came over to stir us all up, don't worry Smile

I'm not sure whether I want them to "live happily ever after". I think it's possible to have an ambiguous ending getting these two together without an overt slap in the face of Spooks' history. (Silktie pointed out elsewhere that bumping people off has become so de rigeur for Spooks, it's almost less shocking for them to live on.) And after all, these guys have never been like anyone else anyway, that's why we love them! We just established that!

I want them to 'live happily ever after' even if we don't get to see it

Just watched that ep again and you're right, they have their first off-Grid "chat" outside on a bench somewhere. Harry uses Ruth as a sounding board re his worries about what's happening to Tom and asks her if she'll support him. He clearly trusts her instincts and opinions.

Is this scene in the series 2 DVD extras?

No. The filmed version is not available anywhere, just the script version. You'll just have to use your imagination on what PF and NW did with this that caused the producers to go: "Oh blimey, we didn't realise that scene had so much UST in it. Cut it, or we'll create an army of Harry/Ruth shippers that will not give us a moment's peace until those two declare their undying love for one another. That can never happen in Spooks - no-one must ever be happy in Spooks!" That last bit's for you, Nitrus. Tongue

By the way, I can just picture PF doing the 'goody? What's goody about it' bit! Big Grin Would have been awesome.

It would have been, but in a way I'm glad it wasn't shown.

RE: [spoilers] Harry and Ruth
I understand why they cut it. (Thanks for putting it up Silktie, I went to bed.) It's also a little too much like that scene they had in 2.4 when Tom discovers she's feeding stuff to GCHQ and she says being a double is "rather exciting, actually".

RE: [spoilers] Harry and Ruth
Yes I undertand they didn't how it in the episode, but they could have included it in the extras Big Grin

I've watched the extras of series 4 (behind the scenes, with interviews is amazing Smile I'm enjoying so much my "presents" form amazon Big Grin) and PF and NW speaking about HR relationship, they show a scene that's brilliant, in 4.05 (The book) Ruth calls Harry late at night because Gary (the reporter) comes to Ruth's to tell her and Harry about Clive McTagger. The phone conversation is hilarious!!! Harry's performance is wonderful!! Smile
