Line 5: The show ended in 2011 after ten seasons. In a show where [[Anyone Can Die]] and the one character who was considered to ''maybe'' have a plot shield has spent the last six weeks being put through the wringer, this made for a very tense finale. [[The Movie\|The series continued with a film]], ''Spooks: The Greater Good'', which was released on 8 May 2015. For more information, go [http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/spooks/ here] (Non-UK spoilers) and [https://web.archive.org/web/20081205094951/http://www.aetv.com/tv/shows/mi5/mi5_homepage.html here]. Line 115 ⟶ 117: * {{spoiler\|[[Villain Protagonist]]}}: Lucas. * [[The War on Terror]]: First British series to feature it. * [[Well-Intentioned Extremist~~\|Well Intentioned Extremists~~]]s: In addition to several Villains of the Week from the earlier series (most memorably, Collingwood and his cohorts from "Gas and Oil"), at least two season arcs from the later years (Six and Eight) are built around massive conspiracies consisting of such individuals. * [[Western Terrorists]]: This trope is fully [[Justified Trope\|justified]], as [[MI 5]] is (or at least, it ''was'' when the show started) concerned with domestic security akin to the American FBI, and not exclusively terrorism. The first series was written prior to 9/11 (although some cursory references were inserted after the fact) when Irish splinter groups, xenophobic race-baiting, and economic rioting were the prime sources of potential turmoil. ** And to be fair, some of these would be justified post-9/11 as well, given a quick glance at [[Real Life]].
