Series 9 DVD Release

[Tea Lady]

Just watched the commentary for 9.1, which again was very interesting. A couple of points I will note below in tags if interested. On a general point though, why is it that all these actors and writers and producers all love Harry and Ruth and keep saying they want them to get together? If that's the case, why haven't they got together? It doesn't make sense?!!

Spoiler: show

The scene where Harry kills the old HS, was actually a lot longer and was cut when edited. When Harry gets up from the chair and walks towards the door, he is startled by a dog. Not wanting to leave the dog for 24hrs without food, as the HS's wife doesn't arrive until the next day, Harry goes into the kitchen and feeds the dog. One of the writers actually joked that Harry did this, not because he felt sorry for the dog, but because he was afraid the dog would eat the HS.

The writers complained quite a lot about the scene where Ruth goes into Harry's office and he tells her he resigned. They said the best line was cut. After Harry says "I don't want to feel like I'm covered in blood anymore," and then he stops Ruth trying to talk him out of it, Ruth turns away from Harry to walk out of his office. But she then turns back to Harry and says, "but we are born covered in blood Harry." The writers couldn't believe that line was cut.
