Damian Lewis: Spy Wars

Featuring Damian Lewis in his first docu-drama role, this eight-part factual series reveals the remarkable true stories behind some of the most gripping and important international spy operations of the last 40 years.

Packed full of espionage, surveillance, undercover work and covert operations, the series brings forth these real events as well as the profound personal and geopolitical consequences for all involved.

Utilising highly stylised reconstructions, Spy Wars is shot on location in London, Moscow and Israel.

Damian Lewis is our guide through each in-depth episode that investigates the Cold War through to the 'war on terror' and the renewed espionage hostilities of present day.

By presenting an all-encompassing 360-degree view as each case is unpacked by experts and former spies on all sides, ex-Mossad, ex-CIA, ex-KGB and ex-MI6, Damian provides an unprecedented insight into the spy operations which literally shaped today's geo-political climate.

In the series premiere, "The Man who Saved the World": This is the story of Oleg Gordievsky, one of the West's most valuable Cold War agents who risked everything to avert a third World War.

Appearing to be an ambitious diplomat stationed at the Soviet embassy in Denmark, Gordievsky was actually a Russian spy and a rising star of the KGB.

From the KGB's station in London, Gordievsky passed key intelligence to the British which many believe singlehandedly pulled the world back from the brink of nuclear annihilation.
