Gritty new adventures of the teenage spy

ALEX RIDER NEW SHOW

After the death of his uncle, who he discovers was a spy, Alex is recruited by a subdivision of the British Secret Intelligence Service. The teenager is the perfect candidate to infiltrate a school called Point Blanc, which appears to be the link between two high-profile ‘accidental’ deaths. Based on the second novel in Anthony Horowitz’s best-selling series, this stars Otto Farrant (above right) in the title role and Vicky McClure as his MI6 handler. Amazon Prime, from Thursday
