Episode 4 - Road Trip

[almh]

So *that's* why people undercover wear glasses In case someone is trying to kill them with a knife, they stab them with their glasses!

How fortunate is it that they have the leading character who can speak the language required? Bit irritating - I'd like to see them import people from other sections in, like borrow one of MI6's agents, and get them to do it, because how likely is it that out of the three current field agents one speaks the correct language and looks the part? And anyway, I thought abroad was 6's zone. And I agree with Silktie that the episode was showing political leadership should leave operational decisions to the people whose jobs it actually is - isn't that what spooks is pretty much saying in every series?!?!
