Spooks

Helen James Productions is working for NBC Universal and Kudos Film and TV producing DVD bonus features for the ninth series of the critically acclaimed, Spooks (BBC1).

A dark secret unleashes the ultimate betrayal in this new series. Sophia Myles (Underworld, Doctor Who), Iain Glen (The Blue Room, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), Simon Russell Beale (Much Ado About Nothing, Uncle Vanya), Laila Rouass (Primeval, Footballers Wives) and Max Brown (Mistresses, Tudors)join the hit spy drama. Their characters will shake things up and give cause for concern as Section D is left wondering who can really be trusted. Friendships will be tested and the depth of deceit will lead to an unprecedented game of cat and mouse for the Spooks.

Sarah Branist, BBC Executive Producer, said: "We are very proud to introduce an extraordinary number of exciting new characters to this new series. The new additions will really ruffle some feathers but, as intrigue and betrayal is at the heart of the new storylines, we don't want to give too much away at this stage."

HJP plans to go on set and film the DVD Bonus Features in June. The ninth series is due to be broadcast on BBC1 this Autumn 2010.
