{{work|wppage=Spooks (TV series)}}
'''''Spooks''''' is a series by [[The BBC]] revolving around the work of Section D of MI-5, the UK's Security Service. The show was renamed ''MI-5'' in the USA due to racial connotations and possible confusion over the term "Spooks". The show is notable for its use of [[Split Screen]] as well as [[Not Quite Dead]]. It also does not have any credits at the beginning or end, to maintain a pretense of secrecy (the credits are available on the DVD release and its BBC3 "week in advance" airings).
It provoked some controversy over an episode where a woman was killed by having her head shoved into a deep fat fryer (the victim, played by Lisa Faulkner, was being set up as a major character, and this was in the show's second episode) and also for one featuring suicide bombers.
