Episode 1 of the new run does this in gripping fashion, by presenting fans with a 10-minute one-shot sequence following Simon Pegg's Danny as he fights fires in all sorts of places, moving around GCHQ as he does so.
Khalique-Brown said: "We open with this amazing one-shot that goes on for about 10 minutes. We rehearsed for a few days where there are no camera cuts, so it’s a lot of moving parts. It’s a great opener."
"We didn’t do too many takes," Khalique-Brown added. "I think maybe we did seven takes or so. We rehearsed it way more than that because it’s basically like a dance."
When asked whether he had ever filmed anything like it before, Pegg noted: "We did a couple of long shots in Shaun of the Dead, but nothing quite like this. This one was so heavily choreographed because it starts in the situation room, then it goes out into the EMC, then it goes into my office and then back out again."
"You get to see a character who never gets to switch off actually be impacted psychologically by the extremity of the situation he’s in."
"He comes in and lands, and then there’s really intense jargon that he’s got to say – really fiddly coding words," Khalique-Brown said of Sapani. "He had so much pressure on him."
The synopsis for the season, which is available to watch in full on Channel 4, says: "Set in 2024, The Undeclared War returns with a fresh wave of tension and drama as the elite Malware Department at GCHQ grapples with the aftermath of a devastating Russian cyber-attack. Just when it seems the UK has gained the upper hand, Danny and the team uncover a far more dangerous threat."
