Well at least this one wasn't as obvious.
(And at least they aren't all as obvious as in Ashes to Ashes. That was appaling).

I never noticed in Ashes to Ashes but then again I never watched it as closely as I do Spooks. Was this issue ever raised with Kudos for Ashes then? Was it thought to be just down to budget?

Surely though, if that end scene in 9.8 was an add-on as we think it may have been, and was about cost, then how come they dragged SRB back to shoot an extra scene? Just speculation on my part, but I would think it more likely that the HS part was shot as part of normal filming and was going to be in the final episode anyway. I think it was perhaps more likely that the Harry part of that scene was changed. I mean where Harry was location wise, when he took that call i.e. lying in a hospital bed, eating in a restaurant with Ruth. As I say pure spec on my part.
