Season 1

A razor-sharp comedy created and written by Simeon Goulden (Secret Diary of a Call Girl), that celebrates that special bond between a father and son, and puts a twist on the traditional family comedy.

Thirty-something Tim (Darren Boyd) has reached a crossroads. Not only is he stuck in a dead-end job at Computer Universe, but he's locked in a custody battle with his ex-wife Judith (Dolly Wells) over son Marcus (Jude Wright), a precocious nine-year-old who is as happy spending time with his dad as a PETA member would be modelling fur coats.

Tim's world is shaken, and most definitely stirred, however, when he's accidentally recruited as a trainee spy for MI5, going from zero to hero.

Well, sort of...

Spy is created and written by Simeon Goulden. It is a Hat Trick production for Sky 1 HD and is produced by Simeon Goulden and directed by Ben Taylor.
