I loved to read it, though I got my DVD's yesterday and started with the third one as well ;o)<br />My reaction to the explanations, not only RA's, was a bit like "They really believed the story". Strange, for I presume they must have, otherwise they would not have done it. Still, I was somewhat surprised, that no further revelation or explanation came up.CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-68972039867156271392011-03-03T23:48:30.399+01:002011-03-03T23:48:30.399+01:00I agree wholeheartedly with what's already bee...I agree wholeheartedly with what's already been said. Thank you for your wonderful post with the quotes about Lucas/John, and the pictures that go along with them ...

No one can say you are a superficial watcher, MG! ;)<br />Thank you for such a detailed report, much appreciated: can't wait to listen to RA's explanations myself, although I still can't get over it (Lucas/John story, that is) :-(<br />BFN,<br />xx K/VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-46739214378161750422011-03-03T00:55:28.182+01:002011-03-03T00:55:28.182+01:00Wow!

I know he had to invent it in order to play his character so well. (I'm sure he didn't get all that introspection from the writers). Just like they gave him the chair and kept the film rolling, they gave him a script and more or less said, "Make it work!" and he DID! But in the hands of a less talented actor, it NEVER would have worked! That is the real secret of Spooks' popularity -- the amazing talent of its cast. <br />Anyway, I really appreciate your post, MG! Thanks so much!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-58661938850917312222011-03-02T22:49:54.947+01:002011-03-02T22:49:54.947+01:00Thank you so much MG to give us a glimpse of RA...Thank you so much MG to give us a glimpse of RA's explanation of Lucas. <br />I like how you can tell he has, as with his other characters, developed and filled in the background story of Lucas/John, I read it and think 'yeah that's what I saw in the show', still I can't get used to the idea of John being the real person *sigh*<br />I guess, the executive producer and all the Spooks team achieved one of their objectives with me, I certainly think 'I wish it wasn't like that'.<br /><br />Thanks again MG!
