MI-5: Volume Five - Region 1 DVD

Other cases revolve around a terror cell, in which Zafar (Raza Jaffrey, Eastern Promises) becomes embedded, and a suicide with which Ruth (Nicola Walker) becomes obsessed. All work and no play would, however, make these spies rather one-dimensional. So, branch superior Harry (Peter Firth) finally asks out Ruth, and the stressed-out Adam, a recent widower, seeks comfort in the arms of a friend. Unlike past fully-loaded sets, extras are less abundant this time around, but still worthwhile (with the exception of Raison's video diary, which isn't especially informative). They include cast interviews and commentary on two episodes from writers Neil Cross and David Farr, director Julian Holmes, and assistant producer Katie Swinden. Helpful tip from novelist Cross (Mr. In-between): Always keep a carton of milk handy in the event of a tear gas attack; the fat will neutralize the sting. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
