It may seem like a far fetched proposition, but it comes from ITV newsreader Tom Bradby, who has adapted the series alongside Jemma Kennedy from his own 2020 book of the same name.
"And I just thought, ‘Well, imagine if you were the MI6 officer who actually got the kind of nuclear bombshell intelligence? What would that really be like? How would your bosses react? How would the politicians react?’ And that was where the idea of Kate came from."
"And of course, the world has moved on since I had that idea but, honestly, it just seems to get more and more relevant, which is great for the drama, but possibly not for democratic societies.
"I think what we wanted to do here was to create something that felt like really cracking, suspenseful mainstream entertainment, that was gripping, and obviously all of you will determine whether we succeeded in that, but that also felt really emotional. And finally, that left people thinking a bit at the end. That's not necessarily the purpose of it, but I really hope that may be the result of it."
"The truth about turning anything from a novel into a film, and obviously lots of novelists don't like to do that themselves, but I love doing it, is that I really love the collaborative process, and we had a brilliant team," he said.
Alongside Arterton, the series also stars Rafe Spall, Mark Stanley, Alex Kingston, Roger Allam, Amaka Okafor and Khalid Abdalla.
