Ahh . . . thanks. Wonder why they didn't shot that?

Well in the commentary it says something about that scene being shot at the end of the day, with 10 mins left, maybe they didn't have time?

Maybe they did shoot it and didn't use it. Anyway, I actually think it is better without it.

RE: Episode 10 Discussion [rewatch]
Wonderful, wonderful episode. I echo everything said by all the other posters re Danny, Fiona and Adam, and Harry and Ruth. A few other things:
I think we see in this episode for the first time how similar Harry and Adam's philosophy about their work is. Harry hates the fact that he will have to sacrifice his officers because the country's policy is not to give in to terrorists' demands, but he accepts it because he knows there is truth in Guy Facer's statement that they are not civilians. Adam, on the other hand, at the end is willing to sacrifice Fiona to save the PM's life, by ordering them not to let the PM into the hall whilst knowing they will kill her when he doesn't deliver at his end. Great performances from RPJ and PF in both these scenes.

I also love the scene where Adam tells Ruth how he met Fiona, so touching and really wonderful. I think it is in this episode that the close bond of friendship is truly established between Adam and Ruth, and from here-on these two characters are always looking out for each other.

There are some really funny moments in this episode, mostly brought by Harry. The chocolates scene is really a classic, as well as his reaction when Ruth tells him there was no way Adam bought Fiona chocolates. You can just see him thinking 'But what's wrong with chocolates as a birthday gift?' And Ruth, even in the midst of the crisis, not wanting him to feel bad and telling him there's nothing wrong with chocolates as a gift. Really funny. I also liked the bit where he's waiting in the briefing room, drumming his fingers, but stops immediately when Ruth enters. He's concerned about the situation, but doesn't want to show it in front of others. Great stuff.

And I loved NW's delivery in that scene where she asks Harry to take her seriously - when she says she always tries to be cheerful. It's hilarious.

Great points, Silktie. I forgot to mention that lovely scene with Adam and Ruth. A good example of a personal moment that has a big pay-off in action later on.

At the end of re-watching season 3, it really is a better season than I sometimes give it credit for. The last two episodes of this season in particular reward on the repeat viewing.

I agree totally with this. These last two episodes were brilliant.

I just loved the scene where Ruth is convincing Harry to take her seriously, that was excellent.
I thought the scenes with Adam and Fiona a little over the top, but the scene where he opens her car door was lovely, chivalry isn't dead !

Scripts? You have access to scripts? How? Where? Do tell! I found some at twizTV.com but am not sure how reliable they are. And they only go up through S3.

RE: Episode 10 Discussion [rewatch]
just rewatched this ep last night for 2nd time! its dannys last ep and he is almost a guest star! he isnt in it much at all! and his death is slightly pointless other than to haev to make adam choose!

that said the scene with RPJ in the bathroom saying sorry is utterly amazing! really powerfull acting from RPJ in that moment!
