He has the deft touch when it comes to the intimate, quiet scenes too. There is a beautiful symmetry to Bharat being the one to see the show out, given that he was the first of the establishing directors of the show and it is a job for which he is well qualified. Class act.

Hear, hear! If we have to go out I am very glad we are going out with Mr. Nalluri. Almost makes it worth it. Almost. I am in awe of his work in this episode. It started with the teaser clip the BBC released of Ruth challenging Harry's decision to lift Coaver and that exquisite puddle reflection of the car. The subtlety and attention to detail is sublime and it only gets better on repeat viewings. And it isn't just the cinematography, it's his work with the actors as well. They all fit. It looks like they are doing it all by themselves.

Was Harry meant to get to it because it was meant to help him find out who the traitor was or to get rid of the information before the Americans found out? Because having a file with that information on it seems very stupid to me.

Yeah, I'm baffled by that too. I thought there'd be some clue as to the bad guys, but apparently it was just a plot device to let Sasha realise who his real father is.

Me too. I thought there would be more and then Sasha went all Rock Star on it and I thought, "Oh, well. That's that then. OK." Maybe there was and we just don't know it yet? Maybe Sasha's destroying of the laptop sends things spinning downhill a bit faster than they already are?

Good work from TWJ though. He really committed and let it rip there.
