The end of spooks...

[watchstrap]

People always seem compare Spooks with A2A. I cannot see anything in common other than they are both produced by KUDOS. Surely, wasn't A2A written from the start with the end in mind. The end made the rest of it make sense. Spooks was always written as a open ended show running from season to season, normally ending like most seasonal shows with a cliffhanger. The majority of characters who have been killed off over the years left because they wanted to. Spooks wouldn't have lasted 10 years if the original cast from S1 were still in it!

The ending of Spooks actually provides the writers with an answer to their usual dilemas. Nobody has to be killed off and there is no need for a cliffhanger as there is no next season. Therefore getting H/R together becomes plausable, in fact I think this is the only chance that will happen.

Todays news has left me feeling really upbeat about the forthcoming S10. I am confident that KUDOS will give a happy conclusion and would not want to depress us just because that's Spooks. As to an audacious ending, I took that to mean bold and daring, not heartbreaking.

Just my pennys worth!
