Okay, I'm not really complaining, but this just seemed like 'let's give the audience one last look at that body' scene which was unnecessary. I DON'T watch Spooks just so I can see Lucas half naked (no really I don't!). And then PF fans get to miss out on the swapping clothes scene. Nice of Lucas get Harry something appropriate that fitted, no jeans and T-shirt for Harry!

HB - I actually have thought about the final no shirt scene too - was it a visual reminder maybe to the audience of the 8 years that Lucas/John spent in the Russian prison? Probably not...
Probably just a last hurrah for RA fans (which I am one and enjoy his "body" of work ) but I am first and foremost a [spooks] fan and felt it was unnecessary. And BTW - how did he explain those tats to Maya??? "Hey baby I kinda went through a Russian phase & isn't William Blake kinda cool?" but I digress...

And when Harry was told to undress I think it should have been a boiler suit that Lucas/John made him put on
