I loved Hugh Laurie's character in this series, it was fantastic... he came out with some of the best lines of the series.

What did you think of him?

Jools was great. Hugh Laurie is great. Of course the first place I saw him was in House MD, so his English accent really threw me off. Since then I've seen some Laurie and Fry. Great stuff!

I love the implied history between Jools and Tom too.

Loved Jools! Especially at the opera, when the lady complains about him texting during the performance and he asks her whether she's a Nazi. Hah! Also loved the interplay between Jools and Harry. Harry's face when Jools fished the manuscript out if his trousers was priceless.

Totally agree! I have a bit of a guilty pleasure crush on Hugh Laurie but more so as House than Jools!!! Great character tho!

He had some pretty amazing lines though Smile

He didn't have an on-screen exit.. he was just replaced by someone else in the next series.

So that's why I couldn't remember him leaving! Awww, he really added a lot of humour to the show.

Hugh Laurie is great!! I think that he is very ironic in the real life as in his characters (well, I mean House and Jools)

Perhaps he left Spooks because he started filming House

Oooh, that's a good idea.

Laurie definitely rules the roost in any scene he's in, and always has whatever the role. He was a breath of fresh air as Siviter (although I never would have remembered his name having only watched the episodes once.)

I had read all the Jeeves and Wooster books before they did that series and it could have been a nightmare, instead of the delight it was, had they not cast Laurie as Bertie (my favorite character in all of literature BTW.) All I could think was, "Where did they find him?"
