2. Action Team
Monday 5th March at 9pm on ITV2
He was responsible for bringing us one of the funniest television programmes in recent years, Murder In Successville and this week Tom Davis is back with a brand new show, this time on ITV2 alongside Vicky McClure, Laura Checkley, Kayode Ewumi and Jim Howick.
Action Team can best be described as a spoof comedy action thriller, which follows the exploits of a special branch of MI6. The team is made up of four secret agents; the heroic Logan Mann, mix martial arts and bomb expert Monica Lang, crack sniper Graham Hooper and Huxley, who’s just on work experience. They are overseen by the straight shooting head of operations Ruth Brooks and her assistant called Anne.
In the first of two opening episodes, a dead agent catapults Action Team into an Austrian adventure, as they try and protect an international charity conference from a deadly attack. But who can be trusted and what is the secret of ‘Abacus’?
