I can still recall the tears, the angry tweets, the absolute shock even now...
TV lovers the country over went into mourning when the BBC made the decision to axe favourite spy drama, Spooks after ten successful series. People feared their lives may never be the same again.
OK. So perhaps I’m being a little too dramatic. After all, I love a good drama and Spooks was one of the best on the box. But alright, if we’re really honest with ourselves, the programme had probably run its course (never mind that half it’s main cast had been killed off – it’s apparently quite dangerous, being a spy). In fact, the whole spy genre, whilst extremely successful in television, both here in the UK and abroad, feels like it needs a new lease of life.
And as if by magic… Introducing, ‘Hunted’. A new serial spy drama by writer Frank Spotnitz (of X Files fame) based on events that unfold within a private espionage firm in London (that’s right, Government espionage is soooo last year darling).

Very Sad to hear that the BBC will not be returning Hunted next yea after the first series.
