MI-5: Traitor's Gate (2002)
Season 1, Episode 4
7/10
Good but could have been brilliant
21 November 2022
Zoe and Danny are covering an anti-George Bush protest march when they notice that one of the ringleaders of the march is a famous MI-5 agent, Peter Salter. He is undercover for MI-6 and MI-5 weren't informed. MI-5 and MI-6 keep him under surveillance with Tom as his handler. It appears that Salter may be too close to the group he has infiltrated and has changed sides. Tom has to make a critical decision.

An episode that was excellent for the most part but then let itself down at the end. For most of it was a tight thriller: has Salter gone over to the other side or is he a brilliant triple agent? Some neat twists and turns and it was set up for a great ending.

Unfortunately, the ending is bit of a damp squib. There's some silly contrivances and it doesn't make much sense.

Ultimately okay but a fairly disappointing.
