    Did not spot this thread! Apologies as just posted about it in the last tv show watched.

    Yes stag I watched it, their was a show similiar to this a number of years ago where they did something similiar called "Spy School". They did those two first exercises in that series too but without a doubt I will watch the rest of the series. What did you think of it?

    The BBC did a programme like that called Spy in 2004.

    Utter tripe IMHO but depends what you are looking for. It was a different take on Big Brother so if that rocks your boat but clearly nothing to do with real spies,
    a little like Hunted which, I think, comes from the same production company.

    TBH I wasn't won over. As patb mentioned it seemed a bit like 'Big Brother' meets MI6 with the 'who will be evicted' scenario. That said I will be watching the rest of the series in the hope it will improve.

    Yes 'Spy school' was a good show.
