 Through the adventures of ‘Section D’ - a crack team of spies in MI5’s counter-terrorism department, ‘Spooks’ unlocks the secret world of the 21st century Security Service. Their job is to outwit the country’s smartest criminal minds. The tricks of their trade are fascinating – from ‘backstops’ (people to back up the details of their aliases) to ‘dead letters sites’ – such as hollow tree trunks where moles can leave messages for officers. These are serious games, and the stakes are as high as they come.
‘Spooks’ is created and written by David Wolstencroft, award-winning writer and creator of ‘Psychos’. The writers and cast were advised by ex-MI5 officers, helping to create a drama which gives an exciting glimpse of how spies operate and the way their job affects personal relationships.
It is screened on BBC One and BBC Three and regularly attracts over 6 million viewers weekly. Series 7 is planned for October 2008. Previous series appear regularly on The Hallmark Channel.
‘Spooks’ is sold to many countries including the USA (as ‘MI5’), Australia, France, Italy, Eire, Canada, Spain, Russia and many Far Eastern and Eastern European territories. It has won many television awards including ‘Best Drama Series’ BAFTA 2003, Royal Television Society 2004 & Broadcast 2002.
