Agree totally, can see him chirping away and joking. Said spectator lapping it up. Now she feels important, that she knows something special. She's centre of attention on twitter for a day. As if! Dumb woman. Does she really think Kudos, with all their experience, would trust that kind of information with some random competition winner? She has made herself look really silly and given her profession, lost herself trust and future work. I bet her magazine will be furious for the tweet, as it's their rep too. If it was the truth, from a credible source, she has wasted a scoop they could've used later in their magazine. SO I think not.

I believe the writers and the actors that no decision has been made. I believe sam hasn't written a S10 script that finishes Spooks definitively forever. Kudos have no reason to hide the fact if it is official. They didn't with Ashes to Ashes or Hustle. Why would they need to with Spooks? No decision has been made, I'm keeping the faith.

In the slim chance it is the truth, don't you think Kudos would make a press event of it, Ian Wylie etc. rather than some random nobody? This is their flagship drama, longest running, they won't let it fizzle out with a random tweet, they know they owe their viewers more.

I do think much of all of the speculation this year stems from unconfirmed rumours and mumblings months ago, driven by gut feelings mainly due to the time Spooks has been running and the current cut backs of the BBC, and the fact a decision for next season hasn't been made.

Alternatively, Kudos have been taking lessons from the Simon Cowell school of audience power...suppose Kudos whispered via the set or PF in particular this rather dramatic, definitive, over the top language
"the last scene of the last episode of the last series - ever". Twitter is mobilised, people start speculating, interest grows. People view and or contact the BBC for more.

I also think we've seen a lot of outside filming this year - H&R on a bench, H&R on the beach with no attempts to hide the shoot. They are garnishing interest and speculation. Perhaps they want the BBC to make a decision. I'm sure the actors do too. Kudos are not dumb, they are teasing, perhaps provoking.

Whatever the truth, I'll wait for Kudos, the BBC, Ian W or PF/NW to break it before I get remotely concerned.

Hiya guys, just logged on and seen all this. I think it's either the woman just trying to cause a stir, it's a good promotion for her i'd never really heard of her magazine much before now. Or I wonder if Kudos have planted her a little bit just to cause a stir as the boards have been a bit quiet of late, after all if everyone thinks its the last series surely that will boost viewing figures and ensure that the BBC recomission. Wonder if they are doing alll the can to get all the viewers they can so they get to make another series. Fingers crossed, sorry ramble over.

PS I also think the problem is with a ll this last series ever talk is that everyone always thinks ten years is a max for a series and on BBc it sometimes is, but look at Silent Witness, thats been running loads more than ten years, so its obviously not a set cut off point for shows.

I don't think that that Twitter Twit is a Kudos plant - please give Kudos more sense than to employ a tactic like that! More like a casual fan who got over-excited about being allowed to visit the Grid. This woman's day job is a journalist, and a deputy editor at that. So I wouldn't even give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she might have misunderstood what she saw or heard. Just a complete idiot who shot off a tweet without engaging her brain. She has deleted her original tweet, without an apology or explanation. What cowardly beahviour! Her original tweet's been retweeted a number of times, so she can't really hide.

I'm more upset that Kudos offered a visit to the Grid set as part of a fundraiser and kept it all very quiet. Why wasn't the rest of the world/Spooks fans allowed to hear about it and put in bids???

And I wish some other fans would stop pleading with all and sundry for photos and leaks/spoilers on Twitter. A little patience wouldn't hurt. Who knows, might even heighten your enjoyment of Series 10 when it airs!

Im more worried about R not beeing on that scene! Want her to be on as many scenes w H as possible in s10!!!

Also worried about Ruth not being there. If it is the last scene and Ruth and Harry were a couple wouldn't they be there together ? The good news is that Harry is alive and on the grid !

i just cant see them filming an important scene like that infront of public. If the woman had been there in proffesional copasity fair enough but not when its someone who won visit at auction, it could have been anyone. Surely on a day like that they would have them in whilst filming pretty none discript scenes so if anything gets leaked its not end of world.

richliga · 03-06-2011, 08:42 AM

Well if Ruth wasnt there- it WAS not the last scene ever!!! Wink

Good point richliga Wink

haha

But spoilers like that, people have to understand you can't post things like that all over Twitter with A) The Risk of it being retweeted with no way of geting rid of the 'info' you posted and B) Th risk that it might not be true.
Did this woman have permission from Kudos? No,
Did she have confirmation from anyone official that could back up and support her accusation/ assumption? No

Actors who have been playing minor characters, and other people who have been on the Grid set have said "I've been there" but have also stated "I'm keeping quiet about it". They understand the upset it could cause. But they also give us little pieces information without revealing too much.

When filming out in the open obviously Kudos understasnd passers by are going to interested in what's going on so the odd picture here and there is to be expected, but don't go asking for them. If if it was scene of importance I suppose the area would be closed off to stop people walking onto the set and leaking spoilers Wink

I'm done
Rant over

Moving on, I think Lara Pulver said they could be filming for a few weeks more Wink

Reading between the lines, I'm sure it was just an average scene that they were able to view! Maybe the tweeting lady feels a tad embarrassed today, has deleted her tweet and is not replying to anyone! I'm still calm.

Message from Sam!
@NicolaWalkerFan @kraysler don't know where she got this idea from! Scenes I watched were from middle of Ep 6... I should know, I wrote 'em!

*Salutes Sam Vincent for he is wise!*
So there you have it Wink

Sam says he has no idea how the idea came about that it was last scene, he still also has no idea if this is the last Series, and he'd be told first I'm guessing because he'd be asked back to write S11 if there was to be one Wink

Let's bow at the seat of Sam's openness. He loves this show, it's very clear and he respects that the show is only possible because of it's fans. I believe him. He'd look an utter idiot if it ever came out that he was lying.

So well done to the people who tweeted him and for his fairness. Thanks for posting Forever Secret.
