Back In The Spy Life

Spooks star Richard Armitage returns to the murky world of espionage.

After spending three years chasing spies and terrorists in Spooks, Richard Armitage finds himself back in the world of double agents and dead drops this week when he takes the lead role in More4’s new espionage drama Berlin Station.

Set in the present day, the 10-part series follows CIA analyst-turnedfield agent Daniel Miller (Armitage) who is assigned to the agency’s Berlin office tasked with tracking down a mysterious hacker who goes by the alias Thomas Shaw and who may be collaborating with a CIA mole to leak confidential secrets.

‘When we start the story, Daniel has been sent in as a mole hunter,’ explains Armitage. ‘He’s been a desk analyst for 10 years but is transferred to the Berlin Station to try to figure out what’s going on and who’s responsible for it.
