Product Description
All 10 episodes of the second series of the BBC series documenting the missions of MI5 agents. In 'Bosnian', Zoe (Keeley Hawes) goes undercover as a video shop assistant to get close to a Serbian terrorist sympathiser. In 'Mosque', a Birmingham mosque suspected of large-scale fraud turns out to be harbouring a 'nest of angels': a group of young men being trained to sacrifice themselves as suicide bombers. 'Hacker' finds Danny (David Oyelowo) uncovering hackers who have infiltrated the MI5 systems at an IT fair in North London. In 'Bank', the agents are called in to investigate when the Russian mafia try to launder £20 billion through an old English family bank. In 'Germ Warfare', a routine exercise starts to get a bit too realistic for Tom (Matthew MacFadyen)'s liking. 'President' sees the American president in town for a top secret meeting with Libyan government officials. In 'Briefcase', a leading French scientist involved in the development of state-of-the-art weapons technology is found dead. In 'Unions', a celebrated soldier's death in a 'car accident' turns out to have more sinister causes. In 'Drugs', the agents are on the trail of a Columbian drugs cartel with connections in very high places. Finally, 'Christine' sees Tom being set up for the assassination of the head of the armed forces. Can he ever find a way out, and get his friends and colleagues to believe the truth?

Format:DVD
Spooks is a fantastic series, and season 2 was simply awesome. There are some amazingly tense episodes, such as the VX gas episode, and the finale leaves on the edge of your seat, waiting for for season 3. The characters are developed from the first season as you see how the spy game takes its toll on their personal lives.
Spooks is kind of similar to 24, but runs at a slower pace without losing the tension. The script is measured and deliberate, with a limited amount of jargon. The focus is on the story and characters, with gadgets used sparingly and never dominating this superb series.

Spooks is about the classiest spy drama in years, the first series and now the second series have both been of such a high standard that these shows will be remembered for a long time after their shown. And this show is not afraid to take risks, how many other shows kill off a leading actor after the third episode not many, and that's what makes it exciting you never know who might be next. personally I can't wait for the new series as they always leave you on a cliffhanger, has Tom killed Harry ? and if so why ??...Spooks possibly the best program on the BBC at the moment

Since watching Spooks from about half way through series 2, I have loved every single episode. I straight away got hold of the first series boxset to catch up on all I had missed.
The only disappointiong thing about this is that it seems to have taken so long to come out that I was losing all hope of it ever being released!
The story lines are brilliant and the characters are equally as great.
What I think makes this programme so good is that it shows the more realistic side of the secret service..the side James Bond could never really get away with! It's realism is what helps make it so good because of the fact that you can actually believe that there are people who do this job for a living.
Buy it and if you haven't got the first series, get that too because they are both just fantastic!!

I gave it 4 stars because the story/acting and particularly the tight editing deserve it,but why couldn't the new packaging include a more accessible format for selection of dvds? Read more

Spooks
I have found every series absorbing and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Storey lines remain relevant and believable. British TV at its best.

Awesome
Brilliant TV, and the DVD is great. The only thing is that the menus are a little confusing, but the actual bonus footage/extras are great!

superb series
Espionage at its best with superb cast run by a Mastermind to get results no matter what is required. Great to see the Americans put in their place for once.
