They do the same thing with many shows. The West Wing, for example, was pretty much shot in LA, but they flew to Washington DC once a month to shoot exteriors. They could easily do the same thing for Spooks.

My main theory about this is that the actors might not be crazy about moving to Birmingham for 3 months. It's far enough away that they couldn't commute daily, and it's not like Doctor Who where you're in Cardiff for 9 or 10 months. It's an awkward time frame to move your life, and remember that NW and HN (if she stays) have young kids - they'd be reluctant to move all that just for a couple of months. Not to mention the people both those women are married to - they also work in the industry and moving to Birmingham for a couple of months might not be possible.
