Muhammed Khordad, al-Qaeda's No. 3, is in London and wants to negotiate with MI5, as the critically acclaimed spy drama continues. Hoping this could be key to ending the war on terror, Ros and Harry agree to the meet.
Khordad reveals a planned terrorist attack by an extremist faction of al-Qaeda, targeting London at 3pm that afternoon. Khordad is prepared to exchange intelligence on the location of the bomb for a public pardoning of two al-Qaeda prisoners – he expects the Home Secretary to deliver a statement confirming they were wrongfully arrested.
Harry meets the Home Secretary, who is unhappy with Khordad's proposition, but, after considerable persuasion, the statement is delivered. However, Khordad reveals the broadcast was not to his liking, leaving the team to launch a desperate mission to find him and force the bomb location details out of him.
Meanwhile, the Russians have also learnt about the military operation and, in a test of Lucas's loyalty, they order him to make sure the bomb goes off. The team has a tough decision to make: either they defuse the bomb, blowing Lucas's cover and leaving them vulnerable to Russia, or they let the bomb go off – maintaining Lucas's double agent status.
In the midst of the drama, Harry receives a call from his old mentor, Bernard Qualtrough, who names the mole within MI5 responsible for passing on top secret information about operation Sugarhorse to the Russians. Harry is shattered when he realises one of his team members is a traitor – but who could it be?
Muhammed Khordad is played by Paul Bhattacharjee, Ros Myers by Hermione Norris, Harry Pearce by Peter Firth, the Home Secretary by Robert Glenister, Lucas North by Richard Armitage and Bernard Qualtrough by Richard Johnson.

Murder In The Snow – This World
Monday 10 November
7.00-8.00pm BBC TWO (Schedule addition Thursday 30 October) |

In September 2006, two groups of people crossed paths in the snow-capped Himalayas – one seeking freedom, the other adventure. A brutal shooting threw them together, changing their lives for ever.
In an incident that shocked the world, a 17-year-old nun, Kelsang Namtso, was killed when Chinese border police opened fire on a group of pilgrims as they fled Tibet over the famous Nangpa Pass – the gateway to Nepal and freedom. Kelsang, along with her best friend, Dolma Palki, was part of a group of young people who had embarked on a long journey to cross the border.
The shooting was witnessed by international mountain climbers who watched in horror from a nearby camp. As a cool-headed TV cameraman, Sergiu Matei, picked up his camera and started filming when the shooting began, others photographed the events and also helped rescue survivors. The story broke around the world when an American mountain guide, Luis Benitez, emailed his account of the incident to a popular climbing website – revealing for the first time the shooting of Tibetan refugees by Chinese border police.
Using the original climber footage, re-enactments and interviews with witnesses and survivors, Murder In The Snow – This World gives an account of what happened on the Pass and tells the story of thousands of young Tibetans who risk their lives each year to illegally cross the rugged Himalaya Mountains in an attempt to see their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, or attend school in India.

World War II – Behind Closed Doors:
Stalin, The Nazis And The West Ep 1/6
Monday 10 November
9.00-10.00pm BBC TWO

Joseph Stalin was a tyrant responsible for the death of millions – yet he was also a vital ally of Britain and America during the Second World War.
In a new series for BBC Two, Laurence Rees asks how it was possible for Churchill and Roosevelt to deal with this tyrant in order to help beat another, Adolf Hitler.
The series takes a fresh look at this vital period of history, drawing on extensive research in the Russian and Western archives and on the extraordinary testimony from witnesses of the time, including former Soviet secret policemen who have not spoken before on camera.
Programme one tells a history of secret allegiances with the Nazis that Stalin wanted to hide. Before he was allied with Churchill and Roosevelt, Stalin offered help to Hitler and the Nazis.
In 1939, less than two weeks before the outbreak of the Second World War, the foreign minister of Nazi Germany, Joachim von Ribbentrop, visited the Soviet Union to negotiate an agreement with Stalin.
The signing of a non-aggression pact between Germany and the Soviet Union surprised many – Soviet Communists and German Fascists alike. Though the two nations were careful to convey to the world that they had merely signed a pact, they were allies in all but name.
After waging war on Poland, Ribbentrop and Stalin would meet again and it was in this meeting that Stalin made a statement that remained a secret until it was discovered in the Nineties. He promised to support the Germans and not to allow their defeat, which went well beyond anything that the Soviet Union later admitted had been said at these meetings.
In a bid to keep his secret ally happy, Stalin allowed the Nazis a base in a remote part of the North of the Soviet Union and helped them with a clandestine Naval voyage to the Pacific.
Only in June 1941, when reality hit, and the Soviet Union was betrayed by the Nazis, did Stalin turn his attention to a new ally, Winston Churchill.

The porcine pair face a busy week at PPC TV this week as a legendary footballer, a wrestler and Perky's girlfriend – who has a very familiar face – all appear on the twins' TV show in this animated series.
Monday's episode finds everyone extremely excited when a leading football star is set to appear on their show. Perky tells a porky and announces to everyone that he is a sports star, too.
On Tuesday, Perky becomes obsessed with internet shopping and has been bidding like crazy. However, he gets a bit of a shock when he receives the bill.
On Wednesday, Pinky and Perky are desperately trying to come up with new ideas for their show, but they're not having much luck. Fortunately, it looks as though Wilberforce may have saved their bacon when he demonstrates his extensive general knowledge.
Thursday sees legendary wrestling star The Eternal Warrior and his arch rival, The Masked Tornado, booked on the show to wrestle it out one last time. However, The Masked Tornado is nowhere to be found and the Eternal Warrior is furious at the mere mention of his name.
On Friday, a jealous Perky – on seeing Pinky's fan mail – announces that he has a dedicated fan base and one of his biggest admirers is now his girlfriend. After some persuasion from his colleagues at PPC TV, Perky agrees to introduce them to Porchetta – his most adoring fan and new-found love. However, KT and Pinky get suspicious when they realise Perky and Porchetta can never be seen in the same place at the same time.
