“SOMEONE is in terrible danger and we’re fighting to save them.
“Isn’t that the only thing that makes sense of, well, all of this?”
Adam Carter goes out in style in the new series of Spooks.
Even though many fans already know, I can’t say when and I can’t say how.
Rupert Penry-Jones, who plays Adam, will be missed.
But production company Kudos always turn such losses into new opportunities.
Such as the arrival of Richard Armitage as Lucas North.
And the appointment of a new chief of Section D.

Peter Firth – MI5 head of counter-terrorism Harry Pearce – has seen cast members come and go.
“Whenever people have left the show, and there have been a considerable number who have left, it’s always through their choice,” explains Peter.
“Mostly because they’re young and they want to go on and do other things.
“So having made that decision, it could be taken as a loss for us.
“But the production company has always made a virtue out of it, by bringing somebody in, making it slightly different and giving a new direction to elements within the show.
“Rupert really made it his own and transformed it in some ways.
“He was very much the go-getter, alpha male action figure.
“Now I think we’ve shifted again.
“We’ve gone back to the darker side of human nature with Richard.”

Peter is magnificent in the opening episodes of series seven.
At various points he had me laughing out loud, close to tears and cheering at the screen.
Just six days to go now…
