Definitely 1995 hair. Clever. We may finally all get our wish and find out how Harry (or someone else) recruited him to MI5. Looks hopeful for our other most-wanted wish - how he was captured by the Russians (we know he was betrayed by Connie).
Great photo.

Well if that is meant to be a younger Lucas, it's not very convincing because he looks older than series 6/7 Lucas. Mmmmm...

I really hope so, maybe we can finally find out how Lucas became Harry's protege, and maybe even a tiny tiny glance of Tom Quinn? Blush

One can hope...

We don't know if Connie's word is really to be trusted. But I guess if they actually show those flashbacks, we will finally find out the truths that we have waited so long to see! Smile

Maybe not all the make-up was done? Or I should think they would have to do some digital enhancement to sort of de-age him since 1995 would have been 15 years ago and he wouldn't be able to look that young with just a simple hair-cut. Smile

Sorry-meant Series7/8 Lucas!!! Spot the deliberate mistake. Eeek!

and the plot thickens. As Marguerita, the lucky lass who took the pic, reported on AA forum, "the Wandsworth Town Hall was going to be masquerading as a building in Dakar, Senegal" .. hmm.
what was he up to back then? Apart from shunning hairdressers?!? And the hair was most likely a wig or somet....ooof.

Maybe the storyline will be that Lucas was being chased by homicidal hairdressers when Harry first found him and thought his escaping skills were unique enough to join MI5? Confused

And then later on the evil hairdressers employed the Russians to kidnap Lucas and imprison him for running away? Huh

That could explain everything! Vueltasss

That sounds like the storyline for Spooks: The Opera.

Again guys, please try and keep the speculating to the Speculation thread.

If you think that in 1995 fashion in Russia was on long hair you are mistaken, as well as founders of a serial (if it is the truth their idea).
Lukas it would be allocated among Russian as "white crow".
Wish to learn as looked Russian (not poor men) look there

Then the concept new Russian also has gone.
1995 terrible times when spoke guns. And you were authority if have visited prison or had communications there.

Does anyone know whether that picture of PF during filming TL posted on the Peter Firth thread was taken during the shooting of that scene where the newbies are chasing a Lucas lookalike, or during the shooting of the flashbacks with Lucas? If it is the latter, that could mean that Harry features in those flashbacks.

The PF photo was apparently taken last Monday 19th July, Shoe Lane, City of London. The last day of filming supposidly. I know the junction where the photo was taken and it is just offices with a few pubs. Nothing exciting to look at. Peter is standing outside 76 Shoe Lane though, which is the building with the helipad used in 8.8.

The photo of Lucas in flashback was taken I think last Sunday, at Wandsworth Town Hall. The other scene with the newbies chasing someone, were taken the week before on the 12th July. I don't think there were any sightings of Harry at either of the other two locations. I know that doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't there though.

I'm still holding on to my idea that the chap being chased by the newbies is the real Lucas North.
