Spooks is back. Quite pleased. Monday 27 October is the date, 9pm is the time and BBC One is the channel. Richard Armitage from the woeful Robin Hood is our new hero, but the thing we really want to know is how Adam leaves the show. We'll find out soon enough, but in the meantime there's a trailer after the jump. The BBC, on its YouTube site, says this: "Drama series about the British Security Service. An Al Qaeda cell kidnap a British soldier and demand that Remembrance Sunday be cancelled as it is an affront to all dead Muslim soldiers. MI5 hunt the cell but when they secure the release of former MI5 officer Lucas North in a secret spy swap, the team realise Al Qaeda have a new sponsor - the emerging super power Russia, and there's a bomb." So Spooks is doing its bit to not fan the flames of the new Cold War, which is nice.
