Burrows Submitted in fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Sussex, May 2014 3 University of Sussex Karen K. Burrows Escaping the Honeytrap: Representations and Ramifications of the Female Spy on Television Since 1965 Summary My thesis interrogates the changing nature of the espionage genre on Western television since the middle of the Cold War. It uses close textual analysis to read the progressions and regressions in the portrayal of the female spy, analyzing where her representation aligns with the achievements of the feminist movement, where it aligns with popular political culture of the time, and what happens when the two factors diverge. I ask what the female spy represents across the decades and why her image is integral to understanding the portrayal of gender on television. I explore four pairs of television shows from various eras to demonstrate the importance of the female spy to the cultural landscape. -

News Release British Broadcasting Corporation BBC Television Publicity Television Centre Wood Lane London W12 7RJ SPOOKS MI5 not 9 to 5 Matthew Macfadyen, Keeley Hawes, David Oyelowo, Jenny Agutter, Peter Firth and Lisa Faulkner lead the cast of Spooks, a major new drama series for BBC ONE starting in mid-May, which gives a unique insight into the secret world of MI5. Spooks is created and written by David Wolstencroft, award-winning writer and creator of Psychos. The other members of the writing team are Simon Mirren and distinguished playwright Howard Brenton, who was prompted by the idea of Spooks to return to television after 15 years. The writers and cast were advised by ex-MI5 officers, helping to create a drama which gives an exciting glimpse of how spies operate and the way their job affects personal relationships. Spooks is a Kudos production for BBC ONE. The directors are Bharat Nalluri (Downtime, The Crow Salvation), Rob Bailey (Glasgow Kiss) and Andy Wilson (Gormenghast, Cracker), the producer is Simon Crawford Collins and the series producer is Jane Featherstone, head of drama at Kudos, whose credits include Touching Evil and Glasgow Kiss. The executive producers are Stephen Garrett, Kudos’ CEO, and Gareth Neame. Series producer Jane Featherstone says: “Spooks is a topical and edgy drama about passion, jeopardy and the intrigue of people who have to lie for a living - and who can never tell the truth to their loved ones about what it is that they do. Our ‘spooks’ are heroic in the way that only ordinary people doing ordinary things can be. -
