{{quote| ''When master spy, Dirk Bannon, fell in love with his arch rival, Natalia Knockemoff, things could only get complicated. Now they've been decommissioned, and are supposed to be living a normal life with their three chidren, Spike, the wannabee secret agent - Elle, happily retired - and a rather odd Boris. But can this family ever be normal? Not when you've got parents with a license to embarrass.''}}
 
A British show about the Bannon family, who all have strong spy links. The parents, Dirk and Talia, were once arch enemy spies, but fell in love and got married. They now have three children (Spike, Elle and Boris) who have all been brought up with spy techniques as a matter of course. Spike's friend Travis (played by Richard Sargent) is commonly seen on the show.

** Subverted again in the same episode: Elle forces her brother to impersonate a famous rapper in order to speak to her schoolmates on the importance of having respect for their school. When they're exposed, Elle tries to apologize, saying that she's learnt her lesson and she shouldn't have lied to everyone, no matter how noble her intentions were, but she's abruptly interrupted by the audience throwing things at her.
