I liked the Hermione Norris character, though - ice cold and empty as she may be. Remember when she was looking after the Serbian war criminal: 'These safe houses are so bleak and impersonal aren't they?' 'This is my home' 'Nice place' And then she ended up giving him ... but no, that would be spoilers. Spooks has been a blast.
