    Possibly this should be in entertainment but probably best for us political hacks.

    OK, anybody with a cyber security background will find some bits hard to take but if you can find it online this Simon Pegg (new Scotty) drama was interesting.

    The UK has pulled off a few good drama series recently, notably "Vigil" a submarine based murder mystery.

    The Undeclared War
    9pm, Channel 4


    If the recent publicity stunt for this thriller gave you a scare – a fake emergency news broadcast about an imminent cyber-attack, inspired by Orson Welles’s radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds – strap in for an intense series. Set in a disturbingly plausible vision of 2024, this six-parter follows the GCHQ analysts working secretly to block cyber-attacks. When an intern, Saara (Hannah Khalique-Brown), is the only person to spot a threat, alarm bells ring. Created by the Bafta winner Peter Kosminsky (who says it will “give audiences an insight into a world certain to impact our lives significantly in the years ahead”) and starring Simon Pegg and Adrian Lester, it is a nervy watch that is uncomfortably close to the bone.
