Sunday Night is Music Night - Shaken and Stirred.

Listen carefully... I will say this only once.... Radio 2 Secret Agent Ken Bruce - your mission should you choose to accept it is to present an action packed Suiday Night is Music Night of great spy theme music.

Espionage - is a subject that fascinates us - on the radio, on television, in films, in fact and in fiction. Secrets, intrigue, mystery, exotic locations, incredible gadgets, sophistication and sex. Spies come in all different shapes and sizes from Mata Hari to George Smiley. The programme includes music from The Ipcress File; Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy; The Third Man, The Avengers and, of course, 007 himself James Bond.

Will Ken Bruce crack the code or blow his cover? Could he be one of the Cambridge Four or the Famous Five?

This message will self destruct in 5 seconds.
