There's a new spy thriller bringing a serious air of mystery and suspense to Sunday nights on ITV in the shape of The Ipcress File.
The Harry Palmer books by John Deighton, have been read by millions the world over and now TV audiences will see former Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole take on the lead role in the TV adaptation.
And, rather ironically, The Ipcress File will go into direct competition with Joe's old stomping ground in the prime time 9pm Sunday night slot, hot on the heel of Trigger Point which aired its frantic finale last week.
Joe plays Harry Palmer, British army sergeant and iconic spy, who the law catches up with after he goes on the make in Berlin.

And he's not the only well known face in the cast of the new ITV drama.
