News, news, news! It's so exciting to have a hero to cherish and admire, especially when he is out on big risky quests or adventures and makes our lives less grey with his bravery, strength and initiative. For good and for bad.
Our hero is ...

2. a super wicked, not very cunning, Nazi agent: Heinz Kruger. He will spy on the American military scientists to spoil their plans. Not actually heroic? But, why? He will assure us few minutes of great excitement on huge screen all over the world. Not the first time for me! ( Captain America - The First Avenger, July 2011)

One man = many heroes. We are lucky, aren't we? I must confess, though, I miss one hero from the past immensely: Lucas North, (picture above) the brave MI5 agent we met in Spooks 7. Re Lucas North and Spooks, I've just added a new video to my Utube channel: THE COST OF BEING A SPY. If you haven't seen it yet, you'll find the protagonists of the last series reflecting on how much being a spook costs. Richard Armitage says, among other considerations, that Lucas is probably a better actor than he himself is since Lucas must be convincing under cover ... without a script, as Sophia Myles adds. The fates of other spies from the previous series are also analysed (i.e Tom Quinn and Adam Carter).
Enjoy the video
