I'll buy it just for the analysis of HR but I am actually more interested in Lucas for this one. Commentary on 9.8 would have been very helpful but they seem to have moved away from that over the past few series. I wonder if they all had it written out of their contracts? Or if Kudos thought they had said it all?

You're welcome
I think it changes with every Series thats released, I don't know if Kudos ever took decisions on the extra's or not though in previous series

Perhaps because 9.8 was very Lucas based they will talk more about the episode in the "Downfall Of Lucas North" feature, instead of having an audio commentary on it

I would love for Episodes 9.1 to have the Commentary, and 9.7 would be a great episode to have Nicola Walker doing the Audio commentary for it, as it's a more Ruth based episode, I think 9.1, 9.3, 9.6 or 9.7 would be great to hear the commentary on

This is quite a critical review for the box set of Series 9.

I do wonder whether the person who wrote that review has actually seen the extras. If they had, why not say which episodes have the commentary?

If 9.8 has no commentary, it's perhaps because it still is open-ended. We don't know FOR SURE whether Lucas is dead, although it seems likely. But this is Spooks. And yes, I'm clutching at straws.

Hmm, does anyone know how many Episodes will have the commentary on them? I am thinking that 9.1 would, not sure about any others
Also I read on Helen James production website.. "We analyse Harry and Ruth's relationship" that will be interesting,

And I'm looking forward to seeing "The Downfall of Lucas North" as well,
Not sure if anyone else posted it

Thanks for this, Forever Secret. I've just read the article by HJP, and I don't mean to be rude, but can someone PLEASE explain to me how Laila Rouass still believes her scenes with RA were passionate? I know I'm always awake when RA's on the screen, but I sure didn't see ANY passion between those two, staged or otherwise. Okay, some stuff obviously made the cutting room floor, but PLEASE...even the photo of the so-called "steamy kitchen" scene looked awkward and boring. (Give me 10 seconds with RA in a kitchen and I KNOW I could do better than that )

Quite honesty seems to me like they are almost bashing S9 in general, there are hardly any positives about Series 9 (Surely there should be some positive points), and they have written only a little about Lucas, the only good point was praising the actors Although some of it is actually true, there were changes in the character, but I wouldn't say that every character had been re-written and a lot of the article is just a recap of the Series,

Series S9DVD Spoiler: show

" A couple of moments this year hint that they’re finally moving in the right direction, only to be shot down soon after"

That is true But thats the way H/R has always been even abck in Series 5, for the writters suddenly to change it would be too OOC for them,

(When I thought that it did very much move in a direction on S9 setting up for S10) and there's also very little written about the Extra's, just a few lines with very little info, I wish they had at least said which Episodes had commentary on them and maybe who did commentary on each one ...*sigh*


But S9 does seem to have much better extra's then S8 did, there was so little on the S8 DVD
