[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Silktie]

Yeah, I agree that they're unlikely to kill off Harry unless PF wants to leave. From what he's said in interviews he loves playing Harry so is likely to stick around. Furthermore, we know from DVD extras that he loves working with Nicola Walker, so he is unlikely to walk away just when she is back.

What did you all think of Harry in 3.2? I thought it illustrated perfectly that Harry's biggest strength - his ability to divorce the emotional from the spying work - is sometimes also his biggest weakness. The fact that Harry himself believes that safeguarding the country is worth any personal cost, sometimes blinds him to the fact that other people look at it differently. In this episode he did it first with Fred, where it seemed incomprehensible to him that someone would not want to serve their country, and then with Tom, where he didn't seem to notice how much Tom was struggling to live with the emotional cost of the job.
