Series 1

Starring Matthew Macfadyen, Keeley Hawes, David Oyelowo, Jenny Agutter, and Peter Firth, the initial series of six one-hour episodes premiered 13 May 2002.

Due to its combination of stylistic photography with fast-paced action/adventure and spy intrigue storylines the series was a critical and popular success, averaging 7.5 million viewers over its six episodes.

The second episode gained notoriety for the violent killing of character Helen Flynn (Lisa Faulkner), which drew the largest number of complaints to the Broadcasting Standards Commission in 2002. During an undercover operation Helen and Tom were captured by race riot instigator Robert Osborne, played by Kevin McNally, who tortured Helen with a deep fryer in an attempt to make Tom reveal classified information. He refused and she was killed. This provoked an angry reaction from many viewers who jammed BBC phone switchboards with complaints, despite the show airing after the 9 pm watershed

Episodes on Disc:

"Thou Shalt Not Kill" is the premiere episode of the British television series Spooks. It first aired on BBC One in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2002. The episode was written by series creator David Wolstencroft and directed by Bharat Nalluri. "Thou Shalt Not Kill" focuses on MI5's activities in stopping a pro-life movement who have smuggled 20 explosive devices to be used against family planning doctors. The episode title is a reference to the sixth Commandment.

The pilot went through 30 rewrites and four separate story changes before the BBC were satisfied with the plot. It would be rewritten again following the September 11 attacks, with the purpose of acknowledging the series premise as battling terrorism. Filming took place mostly in London, England using a long lens camera. The idea of using split screen, regularly used by the series, came from Nalluri after filming wrapped up for the episode, and was not inspired by the American television series 24.

Following its broadcast, the pilot was seen by over nine million viewers, easily winning its time slot, having nearly doubled viewership from ITV1 at the same time; the ratings went beyond the producers' expectations. However, critics gave varied responses towards the episode.

"Looking After Our Own" is the second episode of the British espionage television series Spooks. It first aired on BBC One in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2002. The episode was written by series creator David Wolstencroft, and directed by Bharat Nalluri. The episode focuses on MI5's efforts in bringing down right-wing leader Robert Osbourne (Kevin McNally), who is believed to be planning a series of race riots across the UK.

Hungarian Summary:

A sorozat az MI-5, a szupertitkos brit biztonsági szolgálat világát mutatja be. Az elit alakulatban szolgáló emberek olyan rémségekkel veszik fel nap, mint nap a harcot, mint a szervezett bűnözés, különböző terrorcselekmények, fegyverkereskedelem, drogüzletek - és mintha nem lenne elég dolguk és bajuk, a központjukban is zajlanak a konfliktusok és hatalmi harcok. A témájában igencsak aktuálisnak mondható sorozat szenvedélyről, kockázatról és intrikáról mesél - de elsősorban olyan emberekről, akiknek hazudniuk kell a megélhetésükért, és akik sosem mondhatják el az igazat szeretteiknek.

1. A fanatikusok:

Az Életért mozgalom egyik terroristája, Mary Kane brutálisan kivégez egy abortuszokat vállaló-végző orvost. A titkosszolgálat fülest kap, miszerint ez az akció csupán a jéghegy csúcsa, mivel Mary több úgynevezett aktivista kiképzésébe kezdett, s céljuk további "emberi életet veszélyeztető ember" likvidálása.

2. Sarokba szorítva:

Tomnak és Helennek titkos küldetésre kell mennie, hogy összebarátkozzanak egy megrögzött rasszista feleségével - s mindezt annak érdekében, hogy megelőzzenek egy faji háborúskodást. Eközben Zoe és Tessa megtudják, hogy egy menekültekkel teli hajó érkezik a doveri kikötőbe a következő napokban. A dolgok rosszabbra fordulnak, mikor az ügynökök rájönnek, hogy a két dolog összefügg egymással...
