Indeed, a government secret is worth more than the life of one of its officers, as we have seen on more than one occasion. Truth is a luxury item that the spy can’t afford to trade in, despite the driving need to discover the truth about others.

One example of this is the spook’s duty to be a professional liar. We see what spying destroys in the spy as their earthly existence becomes ever more ghostly. We ask ourselves the question: ‘How do they sleep at night?’ On camera 24/7, we are drawn into their worlds as they inevitably fall apart. Looking into the secrets of anyone’s life is fascinating doubly so, then, when we look into a spook’s messy existence. In choosing to portray the work of a team rather than a lone operative, Spooks takes on a souped-up soap opera dynamic in which the viewer forms attachments to the characters and rides with them through the drama. We can sleep easier in the knowledge that we’re in safe hands. Somehow less than human, somehow more than human, fighting on the front line of Western civilisation and fighting for us. So the D Section, working on the Grid (as the officers refer to MI5), live an ethereal existence, dropping in and out of the ‘real world’. Armies and missiles are next to useless against a faceless enemy it takes a ghost to fight a ghost. Terrorism is an asymmetric warfare, the real battle for control of the planet.

The show even has a following in Iran, somewhat ironically given the main storyline of the current series (season six). Drawing as many as nine million viewers since the first series in 2002, the show has also been an unprecedented hit in the States under the less imaginative title MI-5. Countering terrorism, the primary purpose of elite MI-5 spy team ‘D Section’, has sparked the imagination of viewers across the globe. It was the attack on the World Trade Centre that heralded the dawn of the new world scenario, while the first series of Spooks was being written. The world has changed, it seems, and we have all lost our innocence. This is shock reality and there are no happy endings, only awkward compromises. Moral boundaries are blurred: the bottom line is to get the job done. As usual, the script is ice-cold, slick in the interchange, stripped down to the core.
Pulsating with action and knife-edge tension, equal parts glamour and grit make the series a sexy cut above the rest. And Jesus said, ‘I will build my church and the gates of hell (or here the word Hades) shall not prevail against it.The world of high-octane espionage exploded back onto our screens on 16 October 2007 as Spooks returned for its sixth series. “He names it, he builds it, he owns it, perhaps part of the best news he keeps it. And He only carried a portion, that portion of the cross, that one-beam that Jesus would carry on the way to execution.” ( John 19:17–22) “The crossbeam was called the ‘patibulum’ and that cross is being weighed between 75 and 100 pounds. “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” ( Luke 2:1–20)
“Second thing I want you to see: suffering defies explanations” ( John 9:1–12) He’s the one that’s evaluating each one of our lives.” ( Matthew 16:13–18) What is actually the case is the congregation is the chief actor, the minister is the prompter and God is the critic. James Kennedy now in heaven once said, ‘Most people think of the church as a drama with the minister as the chief actor, God as the prompter and the congregation as the critic.
