Also, Harry's 'the spy they want to kick back out into the cold.' Le Carre's The Spy Who Came In From the Cold plays out in Berlin, with the climax focussing on trying to cross the Berlin Wall.

Yes, you could be right there Silktie. It was mentioned in the commentary to 9.7. They tried to move away from action "24" type drama in S9 and would go further towards le Carre in S10.
