Spooks Ep 1/8

Wednesday 4 November
9.00-10.00pm BBC ONE
www.bbc.co.uk/spooks


The team is in a state of panic following Harry's kidnapping by FSB agent Viktor Sarkisian as the compelling spy drama starring Peter Firth, Hermione Norris and Richard Armitage returns for a new series.

It seems their worst fears are confirmed when the Sacred Army of Righteous Vengeance (SARV) posts footage of Harry's execution on the internet. However, Ros refuses to believe Harry is dead and leads Lucas North and the rest of the team on a mission to find him.

When Sarkisian's body is found, it seems they've lost their strongest lead. Ros sends Lucas to try to extract information from new CIA liaison officer Sarah Caulfield but, despite a clear attraction between the pair, it appears she can't assist him. However, help arrives from an unexpected source when former team member Ruth Evershed returns to the grid, fearing for her life.

Ruth reveals that Harry once thwarted a clandestine operation to smuggle weapons-grade uranium into Iraq, and only he and Ruth are privy to its true whereabouts. Now a group of rogue intelligence officers want it back and they don't care who they have to kill to get it.

When Ruth and her family are kidnapped, the race is on for Section D to not only find them before they are killed, but also to discover whether Harry is still alive.

Harry Pearce is played by Peter Firth, Viktor Sarkisian by Peter Sullivan, Ros Myers by Hermione Norris, Lucas North by Richard Armitage, Sarah Caulfield by Genevieve O'Reilly and Ruth Evershed by Nicola Walker.

The team is forced into action as the country reaches crisis point when energy supplies are threatened by an explosion at a gas processing plant, as the spy drama continues.

The Home Secretary maintains public confidence by insisting that alternative suppliers are available but, behind closed doors, the Government is forced to engage in secret talks with Tazbekstan, a nation with a dubious human-rights record.

Tazbek Trade And Industry Secretary Rustam Urazov promises to supply Britain with energy but, in return, he expects that Section D will turn a blind eye as he wipes out two enemies – exiled poet Bibi Saparova and campaigning journalist Matthew Plowden.

With the stakes high, Harry insists that nothing must get in the way of the talks to supply gas, but Jo and Lucas argue that they must protect Bibi and Plowden.

When Urazov stalls the negotiations, Harry takes drastic action to save the country, telling the team that they must take out Urazov. Section D masterminds an ingenious plan using Bibi to kill Urazov in order to shift responsibility. Will the scheme work or will it backfire to the detriment of the country?

The Home Secretary is played by Robert Glenister, Rustam Urazov by Jonny Phillips, Bibi Saparova by Julia Krynke, Matthew Plowden by Richard McCabe, Harry Pearce by Peter Firth, Jo Portman by Miranda Raison and Lucas North by Richard Armitage.

The exclusive and powerful Bendorf group, made up of the eight richest men in the world, is meeting on British soil and Section D must find out what is being planned, as the spy drama continues.

Ros is sent undercover and attends the meeting, but what should be a routine operation becomes a life-or-death situation when a group of armed terrorists take everyone hostage.

The hostages, including Ros, are being held in an underground bunker – there's only one way out and it's rigged with explosives.

Harry sends in Lucas and Jo to assess the situation and, as they arrive at the scene, the situation worsens when leader of the terrorists, Finn Lambert, puts Thomas Mickelson from the Bendorf group on trial and broadcasts it live to the world, online.

Back on the Grid, Harry, Ruth and Tariq watch in horror as Lambert produces damning evidence of Mickelson's alleged crimes before inviting the public to vote on the outcome of the trial. The verdict is a resounding "guilty" and the team waits nervously to see what Lambert will do next.

Section D has to stop him and it seems their only hope is if Ros can persuade Lambert's girlfriend, Nina, to help her. However, as things start to go her way the tables suddenly turn – leaving one of Section D in an impossible situation.

Ros is played by Hermione Norris, Harry by Peter Firth, Lucas by Richard Armitage, Jo by Miranda Raison, Finn Lambert by Pascal Langdale, Thomas Mickelson by Tom Mannion, Ruth by Nicola Walker, Tariq by Shazad Latif and Nina by Antonia Campbell-Hughes.

Don't forget tonight's the night!!! Don't know if anyone saw GMTV this morning but Richard Arnold announced that there would be two shock departures this year and he has seen the first three episodes. Jo Portman who plays Miranda was on with Lorraine Kelly and she annnounced that she is one cast member who is leaving but she would not say how or who was the other member. No offence to the spooks cast but I hope it's Roz who goes and not Harry, Malolm or Lucas.

series will feature several newcomers.

Speaking on This Morning, Norris also revealed that the story is to continue where series seven left off.

"They set a very high bench mark for last year so I hope we don't disappoint," she said. "It's starts exactly where it left last year with Harry going into the boot of the car and has he gone to the Russians, we don't know.

"We are sent a video of his execution and wonder, 'Is it real, is it not?' So the whole of the first episode is our pursuit and the race against time to see if Harry is still with us."

She added: "It is a hugely loved show. Since I did Cold Feet, I would say that this is the show that people now get excited about and enthusiastic about and really want to know what's going on and what's happening.

"It's about keeping it current and moving it forward and we've got some lovely new characters coming to this series - we've got Sarah played by the lovely Genevieve O'Reilly, who is a real baddie - she's someone to look forward to. And lovely Ruth is back in episode one."

Series eight of Spooks begins tonight at 9pm on BBC One.

Wednesday 25 November
9.00-10.00pm BBC ONE

Lucas North's (Richard Armitage) past catches up with him
Lucas North's past catches up with him this week when his former Russian prison torturer, Oleg Darshavin, turns up with intelligence about a Sudanese terror attack on London, as the spy drama continues. However, Darshavin's information comes at a price and it's one Harry and Ros are not willing to pay.

Despite their reservations, Harry and Ros agree to Lucas meeting Darshavin as he requests. But their fears that Darshavin still has a hold over Lucas are soon realised when Lucas goes off the radar and meets Darshavin at his own flat.

Lucas struggles to keep control of the situation but manages to bring Darshavin to the verge of revealing the target – until CIA officer Sarah Caulfield turns up and throws the entire operation into jeopardy. With Lucas and his lover's lives in danger, he has to use all his powers of persuasion to get the Sudanese terrorist's name out of Darshavin and keep himself and Sarah alive.

Section D soon tracks the terrorist down but, before Ros can get to him, he's assassinated and Section D is back to square one. The only person who can help them is Darshavin, but Lucas has lost his trust and Darshavin clearly has his own personal agenda.

Meanwhile, Harry begins to realise there may be a traitor in their midst and he tips off Sarah's boss, Samuel Walker, about the covert intelligence meeting in Basel. However, a CIA traitor will stop at nothing to ensure their cover remains intact – even if they're left with blood on their hands.

Lucas is played by Richard Armitage, Oleg Darshavin by Emil Hostina, Harry by Peter Firth, Ros by Hermione Norris, Sarah by Genevieve O'Reilly and Samuel Walker by Brian Protheroe.

Spooks Ep 5/8
Wednesday 2 December
9.00-10.00pm BBC ONE



The sudden death of CIA boss Samuel Walker is puzzling Harry Pearce, as the spy drama continues. The official line is that he committed suicide, but Harry doesn't buy it and, when another CIA agent dies, he begins to wonder whether the deaths have something to do with the power meeting at Basel. Walker had arranged to meet Harry to talk about Basel, but he never made it and something really doesn't add up.

Meanwhile, Ros Myers is contacted by her old mentor, Jack Coleville, an ex-MI6 golden boy who suddenly quit the service. Coleville asks Ros to read his memoirs, paying special attention to a chapter about Harry and Gibraltar. However, Harry insists he was never in Gibraltar, so what is Coleville's motive for lying?

Soon, two more intelligence officers are dead and it becomes apparent that the murderer has access to sensitive information. The horrifying truth suddenly dawns on Ros; it's Coleville.

Ros and Lucas North race to find Coleville at his London address. But when Ros goes in there's no sign of him and she soon realises the house is booby-trapped. Ros escapes, but it's clear that Coleville means business.

As the pieces start to come together, Ros puts herself in the firing line in a bid to draw Coleville out. Will she be able to keep her cool when faced with the man who taught her everything she knows?

Harry Pearce is played by Peter Firth, Ros Myers by Hermione Norris, Jack Coleville by Stephen Boxer and Lucas North by Richard Armitage.

ctress Hermione Norris has quit her role in the hit BBC show Spooks, it was reported today.

The 42-year-old, who plays MI5 counter terrorism section chief Ros Myers, is set to make her exit this series, according to insiders on the show.

'It's a spectacular ending,' they told the Daily Mirror. 'No one will be disappointed, but it will be kept secret.'

The actress, who is a mother-of-two, publicly hinted at a departure from the show just yesterday during an appearance on ITV daytime show This Morning.

She told presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: 'I have loved playing Ros. It is a hugely loved show.

'Since I did Cold Feet, this is the show that people now get excited about and enthusiastic about - they really want to know what's going on.'

Norris, who has been on the show for five years, was awarded the title of Best Actress at ITV's Crime Thriller awards last year.

She also appears in the series Kingdom as Beatrice Kingdom, the half-sister of the character played by Stephen Fry, and is set to star alongside Trevor Eve in a remake of Bouquet of Barbed Wire.

She said: 'It's not like the original at all. It's fascinating, full of lies, deceit and painful secrets.'

Why do I have a horrible feeling that the only way they'll get rid of ros it to kill her. I mean look at what she's been through already in the show and she's stuck at it, plus now she's got the top job in section D, all she ever wanted, what would possibly ever make her leave of her own free will

Britain is on the verge of bankruptcy. The Government is unable to honour its national debt payments and Section D must retrieve more than a billion pounds of illegal earnings from the impenetrable DeWits bank, as the spy drama continues.

For the past four months, Ryan Baisley, a DeWits employee, has been working as an MI5 asset, secretly recording account details. With the country close to economic collapse, MI5 orders Baisley to hand over the information. However, Baisley has other plans.

A team of assassins breaks into Baisley's safe house, leaving him alone and on the run for his life. Harry and his team have no idea where Baisley is and, to make matters worse, they discover he has attempted to do a deal with the DeWits bank manager, Irvin Perrot.

With time running out, Section D tracks Baisley down but the assassins aren't far behind. As Ros catches up with him, she is caught in the crossfire of a shootout. Although Ros sees off the hit men, Baisley slips away – leaving Section D back at square one.

Ros forces Perrot to reveal when his exchange with Baisley will take place. She knows the hit men will be lying in wait but she will stop at nothing to get to Baisley first.

Meanwhile, Ruth's investigations into the power meeting at Basel pay off when she discovers something called "Nightingale". The team must find out what, or who, Nightingale is.

Ryan Baisley is played by Ewen Bremner, Harry by Peter Firth, Irvin Perrot by Richard Durden, Ros by Hermione Norris and Ruth by Nicola Walker.

FEISTY Ros Myers has been in a few sticky situations in her time but this time she really is staring death in the face.

One of the main characters of the hit BBC1 spy show will literally get the bullet tonight and Ros is clearly in the frame.


But, this being Spooks, nothing is quite as clear-cut as it seems and there will be a few shocking twists and turns before fans learn which of Section D’s agents gets killed off.


It all goes belly-up when the MI5 team go undercover to investigate a plan being put together by some of the world’s richest men.


Ros (Hermione Norris, 42) is taken hostage along with eight billionaires by radicals including the deadly Nina Gevitsky (Antonia Campbell-Hughes, 27).


Things look bleak when nutty Nina orders Ros to kneel down and prepares to shoot her.


And with time running out, Harry Pearce (Peter Firth, 56) desperately tries to launch a rescue mission to save his star spy.


But, at what cost?


Spooks is on BBC1, tonight at 9pm.

The situation between India and Pakistan reaches crisis point when an Indian submarine ends up in Pakistani hands, as the spy drama concludes. The Indian Government has set a seven-day deadline before it retaliates and so the pressure is on to avert the first nuclear confrontation since the Second World War.

The British and Americans have to work quickly to organise a peace summit in London in a desperate bid to resolve the crisis. Section D is tasked with looking after security but, unbeknown to Harry and his team, Russell Price, the CIA agent in charge of American security, is part of secret power group Nightingale.

While Harry and Ros try to keep the peace talks on track, Lucas receives a surprise visit from rogue CIA agent Sarah Caulfield. She's been instructed to kill Lucas, but her emotions get the better of her and she warns him to leave the country to guarantee his safety.

Meanwhile, Nightingale forges ahead with its plan and Price has planted a bomb in the hotel room of one of the Indian delegates in order to kill the Pakistani president and further provoke the war.

Tensions mount as Ros and Lucas discover the bomb – they need to get the Pakistani president out alive if there is to be any hope of resolving the imminent conflict. An ambush by Price leaves Ros and Lucas in mortal danger and Harry fearing for the lives of his top spooks.

Harry is played by Peter Firth, Russell Price by Mark Aiken, Ros by Hermione Norris, Lucas by Richard Armitage and Sarah Caulfield by Genevieve O'Reilly.

As Hermionie Norris is leaving Spooks then I think its unlikely that she will have survived the blast. However they could raise her from the dead in a future series. At least Spooks could make it believable unlike that other apology of a TV programme that is lovingly referred to as Deadenders.

Well done to all involved in Spooks. Quality Drama and consistently well written and acted.
