“Occasionally it’s right to be afraid…” Ben Whishaw swaps Q’s gadgets and supercars for hoodies and paranoia in BBC2’s new five-part drama, a contemporary thriller written by Child 44’s Tom Rob Smith, with a cast that includes Jim Broadbent, Charlotte Rampling and Adrian Lester.

“London Spy is the story of a chance romance between two people from very different worlds, one from the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service, the other from a world of clubbing and youthful excess.”
