How MI5 and MI6 ensured London's population became the most spied upon in the world.
How MI6's checkered history in Iran led to the future head of the CIA, Allen Dulles, persuading his brother, John Foster Dulles, then US Secretary of State, that "British imperial policy must not be allowed to compete with American political and commercial interests".
When MI5's second woman director-general, Eliza Manningham-Buller, frankly admitted in 2007 that the Security Service only knew half of all al-Qaeda suspects in Britain, it led to her once glittering career spanning three decades ending in controversy over MI5's failure to provide warning of the London bombings in 2005.
The unique partnership between Mossad and MI6.
How the CIA was outsmarted by its own double agent and raised questions about whether the Soviet government had been involved in the assassination of President John F Kennedy.
How MI6 cemented its relationship with America's National Security Agency, NSA, and its secret base at Menwith Hill in Yorkshire.
How the head of the KGB gave the CIA station chief in Moscow its Christmas gift - a complete set of the Russian blueprints of how the US embassy in the city was bugged by the KGB.
How MI6 recruited and trained Agent D/813317, whistleblower Richard Tomlinson, who claimed he had been invited to take part in the assassination of a head of state - and later claimed the plot was linked to the death of Princess Diana.
How MI5's latest director-general, Jonathan Evans, has become the intelligence world's ranking expert on Osama bin Laden - and the plan to capture him that involved a dentist's chair and a face mask giving him the look of Hannibal Lector.
MI6's role in the attacks on the US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Why Dame Judi Dench, "M" in the James Bond films, was invited to MI6's Christmas party.
MI6 and Mossad's warnings preceding the 9/11 attacks that were largely ignored in Washington.
How both MI5 and MI6 reacted to the attacks - and the threat posed by a transatlantic airliner which had turned off its transponder as it headed for London hours after the attack.
MI6's secret meetings in London to prepare for the road to war with Iraq - and the threat of pre-emptive attacks with biological weapons launched by Iraqi sleeper agents in Britain.
How the only other woman to head MI5, Stella Rimington, led the fight against the KGB and the IRA - and ended up being invited by Moscow to tell them how she did it.
MI6 analysts pass judgment on the US plans to attack Iran.
How MI6 bugged a magnificent mansion on the outskirts of wartime London and filled it with captured top-ranking Nazi generals, whose gossiping gave Winston Churchill invaluable insights on how to conduct the war against Hitler. The tapes would remain one of World War Two's last great secrets until 2007.
Why MI5 was ordered by Winston Churchill to devise a plan to divert the Nazi flying bombs aimed at central London by persuading the Germans to drop the bombs in the eastern suburbs of the city where a large Jewish population lived and worked.
How the code breakers of Bletchley became part of the world's most powerful electronic spying agency - America's National Security Agency.
How MI5 and MI6 became a breeding ground for Soviet spies and the disastrous post-war affect their betrayal had on British intelligence.
How MI6 planned the assassination of President Nasser of Egypt with the blessing of Britain's prime minister, Anthony Eden. The plan revolved around Nasser's favourite chocolates which Porton Down, Britain's chemical and biological warfare establishment, would doctor with deadly shellfish toxin. Eden became the first peacetime British prime minister to sanction the murder of a head of state.
MI6's role in the Suez Crisis that involved a secret meeting in a French chateau that led to a joint French-British attack on the Canal and a document which would ensure the United States had no prior knowledge of the attack.
The clash between MI5 and MI6 over how the war against the IRA should be fought in Northern Ireland.
How MI6 exploited the collapse of the Soviet Union under the command of its flute-playing Chief, Colin McColl.
How Dr David Kelly, Britain's leading microbiologist on the threat from biological warfare, played a secret role in helping Mossad.
How Stella Rimington, the director-general of MI5, was driven in the dead of night to the dacha of Stalin's most ruthless spy, Laventia Beria, to try and persuade his successor to stop spying on Britain.
How MI6 confronts the Bamboo Curtain spies of the Republic of China and its worldwide network.
How MI5 assisted in the birth of South Africa's intelligence service that led to the Republic's creation of an ultra-secret program to create a "genetic bomb" designed to attack only the Black population.
