Spooks - Series 5 - Complete (DVD)

Spooks has enormous panache and class and breaks all the rules of a drama. It must be the only drama which actually kills its heros!

Once you see past the fact there are new faces with few old ones and that some of the old ones get killed; season 5 is probably the best season so far. There is an introduction of a new character and once you get over the fact it’s the lady from Cold Feet; Hermione Norris – Ros Myers is probably the best character ever to walk the halls of Spook’s Thames House. Her and Harry Pearce for me anyway.

The plots are totally thrilling and have you on the edge of your seat even if at times they leave you thinking – “I hope the real MI5 have more than a hand full of officers to carry out their work”. Especially since in Spooks many task are undertaken by one officer – then this is fiction and we all know how hard Bond has fought over the years single handed.

I think we can all agree that Spooks is the best thing to come out of the BBC licence fee!
