I'm sure there is an earlier thread on this but I've gone back 6 pages and haven't found it.
If anyone has seen the last episode 'Yousaf', can you refresh my failing memory as to the returning military man cum 'phone guy'?

He was the one who helped them get the info on how to get into the training camp they killed people in last week.
He was angry with them for killing I think.
I'm not quite sure but I think it was something to do with the communications cable.
It was setup in an innocent house next door, but would have been something unique in those days so easy to find.
At the start where Larrick was walking across the airfield they'd taken great care to have a pair of A7s parked on the ramp but then stuck a bloody C-130J in the background, an aircraft that didn't have it's first flight until 1996.

I don't mind a spot of pedantry, and I thank you for reminding me of the Colonel's name ;-)
Why did they go to the training camp? I couldn't work that out at all.
I wish I had as many hours in a day as Philip and Elizabeth do. How did they manage to carry on this spying lark when the children were smaller? Did they just leave them on their own like they do now?
I think it was to show that the Americans were training the anti communists in Cuba?
Nicaragua. And they were ordered to go into the camp and kill a couple of the rebel leaders being trained there.
Thanks
You've posted in the US pace thread. I think you mean the UK pace.

I thought the uniforms looked to modern as well? Didn't think they used that uniform camoflage in the 1980's ? May be wrong however.
What a finale. And I have to admit I really didn't see that coming, although I'd had my suspicions that there was something happening with him we weren't aware of, I never quite expected that. I started running back through the plot strands working out how I missed it and they did a very clever job of making the misdirection into a main strand of plot (keeping him safe, slowly revealing his parents secret, smuggling him away) so we'd not think about the possibility. Very cleverly done.
And I'm very glad we're done with Nina. I'm glad he chose his country over her.
Has made me think a lot about how vehemently these Russians feel for their country, the sacrifices they make that go way beyond anything I'd ever do for my own country.
This has been an excellent series!
Will miss the odd glance of her cute bum though, and I suppose it leaves a door open for her return in future as her fate is still unknown. Beeman did right in the end, although we were led to believe he was going to betray his country right till the last.
Agreed, although I didn't think the ending was quite as powerful as the 'Games without frontiers' montage of Season 1.
Anyway look forward to next series
"If she hasn't left the show, she'll be back next series."
Well obviously.
Personally I'd like to be done with Nina. It was a great plot device for two full series, but now it should be retired, just as Nina has been - to SIBERIA lol.
I thought they said she'd be executed once she'd been found guilty.
The Embassy head that Nina framed was also supposedly to have faced treason charges and execution, and yet he seemed to be back in a position of power when talking to the Jewish dissident who'd been repatriated.
