There was sadness, shock, but most importantly, it was unexpected. To make us enjoy getting to know a new character and then snatch his life away added so much more. Killing Adam off was a dangerous move, but it paid off. If you compared Thomas and Adam, I’d be able to tell you a lot more about Adam and his life thanks to four detailed episodes, than tell you about Thomas – a character who was part of the team for six years and barely took centre stage in a storyline.

Finally, we were discovering more about the Northern Irish character who is loved by many fans. Or ‘Deathmaker’ – a story that explored Jack’s past.
