Tensions between America and Russia are at an all-time high in the final episode of this series of the critically acclaimed spy drama. Through the intelligence Lucas brought back from Moscow, the team discovers Russia is planning an attack on London this very day, codenamed Tiresias. Tiresias is a network of silent saboteurs who have infiltrated all areas of British governance with the sole purpose of crippling the UK once activated.
With the clock ticking, the team must find out what is planned and, with everyone a potential Tiresias sleeper agent, there is only one person who can help them – the MI5 mole.
The team abducts the mole who, after being grilled, reveals a Tiresias sleeper has been instructed to set off a nuclear bomb at 3pm. The mole also admits a Tiresias dossier has been hidden at London Bridge, which will reveal the identity of who is about to detonate the bomb – and where. The team has to get there immediately.
Meanwhile, Russia's intelligence services (the FSB) discovers that MI5 has kidnapped their prize asset and races to retrieve the mole before MI5 puts a stop to their planned attack.
As MI5 and the FSB head for London Bridge, the teams meet amid a barrage of gunfire. Can the Section D team members escape and get to the dossier in time? And will the mole – the only person with the knowledge to neutralise the nuclear element – change sides again and save London from the fatal explosion?
Lucas North is played by Richard Armitage, Harry Pearce by Peter Firth, Ros Myers by Hermione Norris, Jo Portman by Miranda Raison, Connie James by Gemma Jones and Malcolm Wynn-Jones by Hugh Simon.

Anjum Anand continues to reveal how different flavours of the Indian subcontinent can be found throughout the UK and this week visits London, where she meets Jonathan Readman, who married his Goan wife, Lorraine, two years ago.
Jonathan confesses to Anjum he has only managed to cook for Lorraine twice and every Sunday he enjoys a Goan feast lovingly prepared by his mother-in-law, Clara. Anjum and Jonathan agree it's time he repaid Clara's hospitality, so they set to work with Anjum teaching Jonathan how to make three gorgeous Goan dishes.
To ease Jonathan into Indian cooking gently, Anjum takes him to a top Goan restaurant to discover the secrets of dry-roasting spices. Then, Jonathan joins Anjum in the kitchen to learn how to cook his first dish, fantastically easy fried spicy aubergines.
Jonathan also gains a hilarious insight into the extraordinary methods of making prized Goan sausages, before being thrown into the deep end, learning how to make a delicious, authentic vindaloo – a far milder version than the UK palette is used to. Anjum's last dish for Jonathan is a beautiful stuffed sea bass.
Finally, Jonathan gets cracking on the ultimate test – cooking for his mother-in-law. Clara's high standards mean she isn't easily impressed, but Anjum's traditional and tasty recipes make Jonathan look like a natural in the kitchen.

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.
Using unique archive material only available since the fall of Communism, the penultimate episode of Laurence Rees's landmark history series reveals just how and why the alliance began to fall apart as the Allies began their final push to victory.
Late in 1944, the Allies may have been about to win the war in Europe, but as confidential documents detailing war-time meetings show, the fight was just beginning "behind closed doors". British Prime Minister Winston Churchill began to lose patience with the Polish government in exile and pressed them to do a deal with Stalin; a deal that would mean Polish borders would have to shift more than a hundred miles west, and millions of lives would be changed for ever.
As French troops marched down the Champs Elysees, on the Eastern Front, Stalin's Red Army was also making progress against the Nazis in Poland, Hungary and Budapest. The key question was: were they liberators or occupiers?
