Neither do I! Not for a minute! But I do find becoming hysterical about it a bit much.

But then, I find tracking the actors house sales (some might say he asked for it, pimping it in the Daily Mail. All it told me was "uh, oh! - theres a man who knows he doesn't have six months work next year"), following their children on facebook, and waiting at the stage door to ask them about their television work a bit much too. Horses for courses I suppose, but not for me (and the main reason that I read, but did not contribute to this forum for so long).

Actors play the scripts they are given and the actors in spooks series 10 played to an incredible standard. Throughout all 10 series, they have drawn us into the world of the grid and shared it with us. I personally, thank them for that - from the bottom of my heart, but it's over now, and I for one choose to celebrate it's life rather than mourn it's death. It's been a hell of a ride.

Perhaps having experienced burying friends blown to bits by the IRA, in addition to close family members, my perspective on grief is somewhat skewed. But I'll tell you this much, life is way too short to give yourself so much pain over something that isn't real. And it is deeply upsetting and not a little disturbing to read. But thats just my opinion. Obviously.

And I know nobody is holding a gun to my head and forcing me folks....
