Have been mining this thread looking for new grist.

Quote:by JHyde:
And I LOVE that "A Dog So Small" came into Spooks
again - it was mentioned in 5.3 and such a perfect choice for a book Malcolm would have loved.

The scene with Malcolm telling Nico "A Dog So Small" reminded me a lot of the Fiona/Danny scene in 3.10 (?) and the Pooh birthday story, "look at all the presents, Fiona." Both scenes were tremendously poignant and the device was used very effectively both times.

He [Harry] does play for time and has probably been trained to do that.

Yes, that's definitely part of the training -- they're told to stall if captured and give the team time to find them. Adam says as much to Jo at the end of 6.10 when they're being held. He also says the same in the ep with the mercenary guy (don't remember which series, but a long time ago).
