Chapter 4: Catherine and Jackson. So many words left unsaid, so many feelings unresolved
Jackson fought the urge to take her hand and keep it on his face, wishing to prolong the contact a little longer. He hadn't been aware of how much he had missed her touch, like thirsty grass yearns for the rain falling upon it.

Summary: Standish has resigned and is trying to have a life away from Slough House, without the team, without him. This story begins at the end of book/season 3 ("Real Tigers") and takes events from "Spook Street" (book 4).

SBIFF Cinema Society Q&A - Slow Horses with Gary Oldman and Douglas Urbanski recap
A recap of the juiciest tidbits from the panel featuring Gary Oldman and Douglas Urbanski:
About season 6
Season 6 is currently in pre-production, with most episodes already written.
Adam Randall, the director for Season 4, will helm the entire sixth season.
Production has allowed Randall to contribute to the writing process by joining the writers in the writing room.
Gary Oldman has already read the scripts and finds them fantastic.
About season 5
Season 5 will unveil a significant revelation about Lamb's past.
Viewers will catch a glimpse of Lamb's house.
Gary Oldman describes this season as truly impressive and with a more Le Carré-esque feel, akin to season 2.
Expect an intense exchange where Lamb blackmails Diana.
New, incredible insults directed at River are on the horizon.
Season 5 is a 'three farts season,' says Oldman, laughing his ass off.
About Mick Herron
Gary Oldman asked Mick Herron for extra information about Lamb when working on S1 but quickly realized that the character is a mystery even for his creator. Herron's response is often "I don't know".
Mick Herron asked Gary Oldman to accompany him to a signing session just before the release of the first season, not realizing that the show would eventually relieve him of his signing session obligations for good.
It was actually Mick Herron who suggested using David Cornwell, John Le Carré's real name, as the name on Lamb's passport that briefly appears in S1. And Kristen Scott Thomas's casting as Diana Taverner was inspired by her previous work with Gary Oldman on the set of The Darkest Hour.
Behind the scene
Will Smith is frequently on set, going over scripts with the actors.
Occasionally, there's room for improvisation.
With a single director overseeing the entire season, the Slow Horses team remains committed to their vision for nearly a year of continuous work on set.
Gary Oldman receives the scripts really early for every season.
Fart acting are obviously "sound effects".
There are emails going back and forth between Oldman and production about 'fart acting.' The one in the car in S3 was praised as 'robust.' There were emails about 'the frequency' of the sound because the car has leather seats, being a Rolls Royce.
The trench coat remains the same, unchanged since the very first season. No one is allowed to wash it.
Kristen Scott Thomas's casting as Diana Taverner was inspired by her previous work with Gary Oldman on the set of The Darkest Hour.
Almost all the crew come back year after year.
Gary Oldman compares working with the cast of Slow Horses to the joy of winning his Oscar.

“Wait,” Catherine said. When she turned her head to look at the clock on the nightstand, he began kissing her cheek moving down to her neck. “Your plane. You're gonna miss that plane,” she reminded him.
He grunted and rested his forehead on her chin. He didn't want to leave, he didn't want to abandon her arms, her kisses, the warmth of this bed to return to what was waiting for him there on the other side.
“I know,” he sighed.

“I'm good at organizing other people's lives… not so much my own,” she finished with a tone of sadness and vulnerability that she didn't want to show to a man she didn't know.
“That's the good thing about living away half the time, I don't have to worry about my own life,” he confessed, showing a little of his soul in the same way she did.
“Maybe we're both cowards,” she said subtly, still looking at him. “Deciding to escape rather than confront it.”

AU where Catherine and Jackson meet and start dating in the early 90s. How would the events of the series develop if they were together from the beginning?

Chapter 3: Will. Beauty maker
Catherine thought again of Jackson, the way he introduced chaos into her world of perfect patterns, how his irreverent responses made her recalculate her own thinking, and how his nuances that transmuted from one moment to the next by hostile antipathy, raw vulgarity, repressed guilt or mental brilliance; represented a challenge for her, which, somehow, made her days feel less monotonous.

Chapter: 2. Standish. Spiral into decline
She hadn't left the house; she was afraid that her body would automatically take her to the front of a wine cabinet. She would buy the first one she could get her hands on, she would cradle the bottle to her chest, she would run out of the store as if she were a criminal, and then, she would drink desperately.

Chapter: 1. Lamb. A shitty monster
Motionless and without taking his eyes off her, Lamb held his breath for a moment, while his hands sweated in his pockets. "Look at me", he thought unconsciously; he knew she wouldn't, she was furious and determined; still: "Look at me", the desperate thought took on a life of its own in his mind.

It's just perfect… A happy place!
“You can call me whatever you want, as long as you call me,” he said, kissing her head. Sometimes he can be so romantic effortlessly.
She smiled and pulled her head back to look him in the eyes. "I like to call you mine”.
“Always” he kissed her, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk, as if they were the only two people in the world.

Louisa: Why would anyone want to take Catherine?
Lamb: Maybe they got a death wish.

Lamb: There’s no need to do this in my office, Nikky. No one there killed your joe. I’m the one who put a barrel in his mouth and squeezed. Besides, I wouldn’t wanna leave a mess for the maid.
Nikky: You have a maid.
Lamb: Well, not as such. The name Catherine Standish ring a bell?
Nikky: She worked for Charlie.
Lamb: She found the mess I made of him. She works for me now. Doesn’t need to go through that with another boss. Although in my case, she might open a bottle of nonalcoholic champagne.

This reminds me of playing with my father. He hated losing, so I always played two games. One on the board, where he won. And one in my head, where I did.
He was also quite open about my chess-playing. Telling me where I was going wrong, how I’d lost all my key pieces, that I was going to lose the game. Just like you. And just like you, he never knew that I was secretly winning.
Checkmate.

“I couldn't let him beat me” she continued “I wanted to show that I am more than… a simple secretary, that I am also good in the field, like all of you” She wasn't looking at him as she spoke.
"You are"

Standish:
This… This gave me a confidence I didn’t have.
It made me feel more like me. I have fun. A lot of fun.
I thought I was living my life. When I started pouring vodka on my cornflakes, I knew that the fun had gone.
In its place was chaos. I wasn’t me anymore.
I was stuck in a game where I always lost, and I wasn’t getting anywhere.
I was convinced I was hiding it so well, but it started to affect my work.
And rather than sacking me, my boss paid for me to get help. No one had ever shown me such consideration before.
Krymov: A knight in shining armor.
Standish: If you like.
Krymov: Your prince.
Standish: No. But then I started to live my life. So, I paid him back in kind. I bought food for him, I arranged his flowers, I arranged his life. Until one day…
(…)
Standish: I try to live up to what he would expect of me, but… it’s hard without him.
