英国ABC摄制的经典间谍剧集The Avengers在整个60年代红极一时，风靡英语世界，时至今日仍然吸引着世界各地无数的拥趸，成为和The Prisoner、Doctor Who等齐名的老牌英国Cult TV经典，而国内也曾在80年代以《复仇天使》的译名引进其中一小部分。The Avengers系列结束10年以后，剧集制作人Brian Clemens和Albert Fennell在70年代创作、拍摄了续集The New Avengers，同样获得相当大的成功，国内在80年代曾以《三个侦探》的不当译名引进。
The New Avengers沿用了The Avengers系列的男主角超级特工John Steed（Patrick Macnee），原系列中的美女搭档换成了两个年轻后辈Mike Gambit和Purdy。剧情配合冷战背景，涉及间谍与反间谍、有组织犯罪、科幻等多种题材，很多创意在当时颇有前卫性，因而在70年代重掀Avengers热潮。电视摄像与制作技术在10年间的发展，使得The New Avengers比前作显得更为专业。虽然和如今的好莱坞大片相比，The New Avengers在噱头和视觉效果方面要相差很多，但是在70年代其地位还是相当高的，而在今天作为怀旧经典仍然具有相当不错的观赏性和娱乐性。

The focus of their attention is the the Reading Club, a group of five women who meet regularly not to discuss books in fact, but to manage a investment fund they have established. Two of the members were hoping to cash out their investments, but were prevented from doing so by the others.

Barnaby and DS Scott investigate the murder of Patrick Pennyman, an undertaker in the village of Fletcher's Cross. The man's wife thinks he committed suicide but the pathologist determines he was killed. The man died soon after his return home after attending a service at the local spiritualist church, itself the source of some controversy in the village. As the investigation progresses, the police learn that Pennyman was generally disliked. Former employees, business partners and others all had a grudge against him of one sort or another.

A cave in of a local canal tunnel under restoration reveals the skeletons of eight individuals.

Margaret Seagrove was convinced that she was the member of the local fishing club using weighted lures in the local stream. Her nephew and his wife, with whom she resided, saw her as a burden now that she had spent most of her accumulated capital. The second victim is the local doctor, Duncan Goff, a well-known philanderer who had affairs with many of the local ladies. The police must first determine if both were intended victims or if one was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Barnaby and DS Ben Jones investigate the death of Simon Bright who is found dead inside an old World War II vintage Humber parked at an abandoned airfield. From all appearances, the death appears to be a suicide, but the pathologist determines that the man suffered a severe blow to the dead and may in fact have been unconscious when he died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Simon Bright's girlfriend, Laura Sharp, is nowhere to be found, but the death of the aging village Lothario and the attempted murder of another of her friends narrows the list of possible murderers somewhat. Barnaby is convinced that one of Laura's ex-lovers is responsible but given her rather active life, the question becomes which one?
Deserted for years, an historically significant house is coveted by a number of people: a yuppie couple looking for a country home to restore, a local builder and his estate agent partner looking for development rights, and a conservationist.

Unlike Sharona, Natalie is not a nurse but a former bartender with a fresh perspective on "Mr. Monk," as she still addresses her new boss.

1969年10月5日，当这五个英国佬和一个美国佬第一次胡言乱语恬不知耻地出现在BBC电视台上时，整个英伦三岛都傻了眼。从这天开始，在之后短短的四年间，“巨蟒剧团”及其六位成员的名字通过《飞翔的马戏团》这套空前成功的电视喜剧节目，很快成为了英国现代文化的一个标志。也正是从《飞向的马戏团》开始，“巨蟒”逐渐为世界所熟知，并以自己独特的幽默方式开创了一种至今仍被全世界(尤其是好莱坞)广泛效仿和套用的喜剧类型。
《飞翔的马戏团》从形式上看类似于今天的电视小品，但它绝不受任何一种规范或模式的约束，我们从头至尾也看不到一个惯用的伎俩或模式化的重复。6个高智商活宝的创作灵感永远天马行空随兴所至，每一集的内容或破碎或连贯，可能是几个独立的故事，可能是几条相互交叉的线索，也可能是一堆毫无瓜葛的碎片。只要是他们灵机一动想到的东西，全都大胆地用摄影机拍摄了下来。除了极个别偶尔客串的朋友(在迫不得已的情况下他们必须需要的“性感美女”角色，都是由“真正的”女演员卡萝尔-克力夫兰扮演的)，整套剧中几乎所有有台词的角色都是活宝们亲自上阵，你所能像想到的各式奇装异服的打扮几乎全被他们尝试过了。
《飞翔的马戏团》嘲弄取笑，有时甚至是恶意羞辱的对象包括历史人物、哲学理论、政治立场、宗教教义、社会现象、公众意识等等。从维多利亚女王到普通的英国家庭妇女，从电视媒体制造的泡沫到日常生活中实实在在的细枝末节都是他们信手拈来的素材。而“巨蟒”对暴力或性等争议话题的处理也非常巧妙，既不会显得遮遮掩掩，也让审查机构无可奈何，这其中当然少不了泰里-基廉巧思妙想穿插剧中的卡通制作的功劳。
事实上，初看《飞翔的马戏团》或任何一部“巨蟒制造”的观众很可能会感到难以适应。乡土气极重的杜撰英国口音和有时显得十分白痴的行为和聒噪的对白会让人不知所云，而且节目中很大一部分内容也的确是纯属白痴的胡闹和小丑式的插科打诨。而这节目妙就妙在，这些貌似毫无价值的胡话连篇中经常会迸发出让人惊叹的绝妙创意，从极粗俗的角度彻底揭露人类文明中所有道貌岸然的嘴脸。大概所谓“大智若愚”的最高境界就在于此了。
畅销书作家，全美超模大赛和纽约VH1有线台评委，第五大道Barneys百货旗舰店创意总监，同性恋Simon Doonan拥有炫目而梦幻的身份。然而10年前还是青春期的他，在英国小城过着单调却不乏苦趣的生活。本剧即改编自Simon Doonan的自传回忆小说，由BBC2台监制出品，在2008年10月播出第一季。由于风格轻松写实、短小流畅，获得了较高收视和好评，但也有人投诉说主角的言辞过于尖酸刻薄(bitchy)。2009年2月BBC确认了续订该剧第二季。
故事采用现在夹杂过去的半追述手法。2008年纽约，Simon和助手兼男友Sacha在设计Barneys橱窗，Simon开始追忆他1997年在英国雷丁的生活，那时他和好朋友Kylie已经认识到自己的与众不同，在古怪家庭、沉闷课堂和同学的欺负下苦中作乐，梦想着去伦敦过“美丽生活”。成年 Simon由Samuel Barnett（历史系男孩）饰演，少年Simon由Luke Ward-Wilkinson（我心狂野）饰演。每一集围绕一件Simon珍爱的物件展开，观众将见证他如何一步步实现梦想。90年代英国的众生百态，香港回归，戴安娜王妃罹难，各种潮流乐队的登台与没落，网路与新经济带来的大爆炸，都成为了Simon成长的布景。制片人Jon Plowman希望观众知道：”那个被嘲笑的年轻人可能就是我。事实上，我们每个人都是充满可能的Beautiful People。”
10集衍生剧里Sophie（Hilary Duff饰）向儿子讲述自己是如何认识另一半，就像母剧里Ted Mosby所做的事。《老妈老爸的浪漫史》背景设置在21年，除了描述女主的寻爱故事外，主角及朋友们亦会探索自己的生活，共同于这个被约会软件主导的时代找寻爱情。
Season four of espionage drama "MI-5" finds the team reeling from the loss of Danny (David Oyelowo), but thrown back into action when a bomb detonates near his funeral. Zafar Younis (Raza Jaffrey) and Juliet Shaw (Anna Chancellor) are introduced to the show, in a story involving a potentially devastating terrorist attack in the capital.

And Lucas' relationship with CIA agent Sarah Caulfied (Genevieve O'Reilly), reignites concerns over his loyalty. This season also sees the exit of one of the few original cast members, Malcolm Wynn-Jones.
This British espionage thriller centers on a team of MI-5 counter-terrorist spies collectively known as 'Spooks' because of the shadowy nature of their existence. Technically speaking, Spooks don't even exist--they have no names, identities, or known locations. Yet these secret agents are all that stand between the nation and the terrorists who try to undermine national security. Matthew Macfayden heads the cast as Tom Quinn, a man struggling to deal with his double life.
The stakes are raised in season two of "MI-5", as the threat to national security increases and the need to thwart the terrorists operating within the UK becomes more urgent. Tom is investigating a Serbian terrorist plot. His girlfriend and her daughter are trapped in Tom's house with a lap-top which is thought to contain a bomb. Meanwhile another bomb is primed to explode and this one kills the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. Adding to the possible dangers faced by other government officials, Tom learns from his American colleague that an assassin is in town, the CIA know about him but they haven't told MI-5.
In the fifth season of the British espionage thriller, Harry Pearce and Adam Carter begin to suspect that members of the British establishment are creating a crisis in order to bring about a change of government.

Plus we meet former MI-5, turned MI-6 officer Ros Myers (Hermione Norris), who discovers a shocking family connection to the season's game-changing conspiracy.
The British espionage drama "MI-5", provides more shocking twists and turns in its third season. Tom Quinn (Matthew Macfayden) disappears following a shooting and new man Adam Carter (Rupert Penry-Jones) rises to the challenge in Section B. After recovering from his injury, Harry (Peter Firth) tasks Adam with proving Tom's innocence. Later in the season Danny (David Oyelowo) and Zoe (Keeley Hawes) are sent on a mission that has tragic consequences for one of them.
Season seven of British spy thriller "MI-5" opens with Adam Carter (Rupert Penry-Jones) valiantly battling to move a car bomb away from a densely packed memorial service. Meanwhile Harry secures the release of Lucas North (Richard Armitage), a MI-5 officer imprisoned in Russia for eight years. It's not long, however, before Ros begins to suspect Lucas' loyalties. The rest of the season deals with a top secret Cold War-era operation named Sugarhorse.
In season six of the British espionage thriller, the team are pushed to their limits, as the relationship between British and American security deteriorates and loyalties change.

New "spooks" Erin Watts (Lara Pulver) and Calum Reed (Geoffrey Streatfield) join the fight to prevent all enemies of the alliance from sabotaging the plan and instigating a war.
