    Spooks.

    I actually rather enjoyed last night's episode.

    How unusual.

      Me too, although the second and third were a bit convoluted and chatty.

      Only two more episodes to go this year though

          I enjoy Spooks but I do sometimes wonder who they are using as their technical consultant.
          1. They use wifi in their office, which is banned in most government environments let alone one as secure as MI5.
          2. The office computers are Macs ???!!!
          3. They can connect to any CCTV in the country in seconds (possibly even to the cheap b&w CCTV found in your local corner shop )
          4. They use wireless keyboards (possibly bluetooth)
          5. Any USB pen drive can be used on the computers

            I suppose that they could take up the whole episode trying to pair two Bluetooth devices together.

              and they can hop in a car and get across London in ten minutes flat

              I've always thought the least plausible gadget is one they hold up to a digital combination lock to try all the digits in seconds (unless manufacturers of these have some secret obligation to include a "back door", which seems highly unlikely).
