It's a very unusual experience, I'd imagine.

That was going to be one of my questions.

What is it like in there?

Is it just a normal office, the cubicles and, you know, the coffee and tea machines and all the rest of it?

Yeah.

Yeah, it becomes the norm.

Yeah.

Now she's in, what exactly is she going to be tasked with?

Well, from the very start, Annie is unsure about just how ethical her first task really is as she's sent to Section F2, which handled counter-subversion.

It's the aspect of counterintelligence designed to detect, destroy, neutralise or prevent subversive activities through the identification, exploitation, manipulation and deception of individuals, groups or organisations.

Yeah.

The Cambridge Spy Ring, or Cambridge Five, was a ring of spies in the UK that passed information to the Soviet Union during the Second World War.

The five men would be identified as Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess, both of whom would flee to Russia in 1951.

Kim Philby, who was actually questioned on television regarding his involvement, which he denied.

He would later flee to the Soviet Union in 1963.

British intelligence would later obtain confessions from two other men whose involvement was kept secret for many years.

In 1979, Anthony Blunt was outed and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would break the news to Parliament.

And in 1990, John Cancross will be revealed and round out the fifth member of the Cambridge Five.

Around the end of 2010 and during 2011, it was disclosed in the UK media that a number of undercover police officers had, as part of their false persona, entered into intimate relationships with members of targeted groups.

Now, the next part is quite astounding.
