Defending their country, deceiving their friends, MI-5 takes us into the secret world of the clandestine UK security service and the people who make up the elite team. This exciting, fast paced drama, full of split screens and technical wizardry, explores the passion, jeopardy and intrigue of people who have to lie for a living and deceive their loved ones about what they do.
Currently enjoying a successful run on A&E,
MI-5 (better known in the U.K. - where the series originates - as "
Spooks"), this show stars Matthew MacFayden, who was named one of "Top Ten Entertainers To Watch" by
Variety.
Now BBCAmerica and Warner Brothers announces the Jan. 13, 2004 DVD release of MI-5: Volume 1 - which is the entire first season.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (and VR.5) fans should look for a guest shot by Anthony Stewart Head. Genre star Jenny Agutter (Logan's Run film, An American Werewolf in London) also shows up in this season, and is supposed to be seen even more regularly in the second season (which these DVDs are meant to help promote).
List-pricing for $49.98, this 3-disc set will contain 360 minutes of international intrigue. Also included are commentaries on all 6 episodes, biographies, deleted scenes, several behind-the-scenes featurettes on the making of the program, and exclusive interviews with the cast and crew.
