gemma jones in spooks
Spooks is one of lamentably few good British TV drama series airing at the moment (though even the American networks aren't performing to their usual high standards of late).
Not only does Spooks have consistently high production values, it combines tight plotting and suspense with characters we really care about.
Even better, recent episodes have seen the introduction of Connie James, played by Gemma Jones.
How fantastic to see an older woman portrayed as heroic, witty and independent in a mainstream drama.
More stereotype-busting characters like this please!
