8/10

Addictive drama.

First of all, I'm surprised if hasn't dropped off, Fleming has spent more time bed hopping, than concentrating on the war effort.

It's all change for Fleming in his duties, but his complex relationship with Ann remains eternally complex. Fleming is wildly impulsive, but his cleverness is astonishing.

Anna Chancellor had been fantastic as Monday, surely the basis for M.

Nice to see Stanley Townsend, although he has a small part, as does Dean Lennox Kelly.

8/10.
