Finally, the BBC publishes something that's totally and unequivocally worth reading. I'll just give you a taste...
Now, to be fair, James Bond didn't work for MI5, he worked for MI6. MI5 is the "equivalent" (sort of) to the American Secret Service of FBI; MI6 is the British version of the CIA. For those of you who are complete tools, that means that MI5 does domestic intelligence, MI6 does foreign intelligence.
Perhaps most entertaining from the article is the following snipet:
Gentle reader, there is nothing that Europeans won't turn into a reality show; unfortunately, there's also no European reality show that we Americans won't pick up on. Anyway, read the whole article, it relates a great story that became a big element of the Bond film Thunderball.
Documents and photographs released by MI5 have given a fascinating insight into the real-life intrigue which inspired James Bond's creator Ian Fleming - from exploding fountain pens to human torpedoes.

The BBC should make this Oltarra episode in to a film, I think peolpe would enjoy the real Thunderball, a true story always has more weight. Perhaps they could make a series from this new MI5 information. Or they could always make a reality program reality spies see if people survive uncaptured.
