Steady on girls, it's not really that bad.
(From Irish Independent)
Let's be honest - which of us didn't grow up wanting to be a spy?
Whether it was James Bond, Bodie and Doyle orThe Man From Uncle, an exciting career in the world of espionage seemed almost impossibly glamorous.
And then came David Shayler, with his tales of tedium and torpor and all of a sudden MI5 didn't seem quite so interesting.
The wonderful BBC1 dramaSpooks has helped make the job seem interesting again but it now appears that MI5 are complaining about the way the women characters are treated - and they now blame the show for the drop in female recruits.
Apparently, the fact that the females have an unfortunate tendency to reach a rather gruesome end is scaring off potential real-life spies.
In fairness, the scene from the first season when Lisa Faulkner had her head shoved into a pan full of boiling chip fat before being shot (which did seem sort of redundant, in fairness) was remarkable in its gruesome nature.
