The Special: Part 1
Prismark1020 March 2020
It is season 4 and it looks like the budget has gone up.

Before MI5 headquarters always looked a little sparse. A two man and a dog operation.

This episode looks cinematic and that is because it is directed by Antonia Bird who had several Hollywood movies under her belt.

It is the morning of Danny Hunter's funeral but the Spooks team have little time to mourn.

A blast calls them into action. Shining Dawn, a group that believes that mankind is destroying the planet and they themselves should be eliminated claims responsibility.

They demand that their American leader Michael Monroe held in Britain is released or another bomb will detonate in 10 hours.

Harry Pearce is in a race against time, he has to deal with the CIA and an old colleague.

A fast moving and tense episode. It all looks bigger and bolder.

A thank you for being a ratings success and at the time the show had become the BBC's biggest seller to foreign television stations.
