O Mighty F-list

I need help coming up with tv shows that have spies or secret agents in it.  So far I've worked ten into a story (including Jack) and have a few more to try to slip in, but I have to be forgetting some.  Help!!

Just came downstairs from watching MI-5/Spooks. Series 2. Matthew MacFadyen's eyelashes are amazing. :P

Um, let's see...
Alias
24
Bones (they're government agents, I don't know about 'secret')
Spynet (Canadian kiddie show)
The Saint
Where in the World/Time is Carmen Sandiego?

I can think of more in movies and video games, but you're just looking for TV shows, yes?

No problem. Another one I can think of that isn't on there is Wish Me Luck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_Me_Luck), which is about British women in WWII who go undercover in France. I'm guessing it's not helping you much just telling you names, though, you want to write the characters from them too. But! I thought I'd mention it anyway.

well, it's all a matter of how much info I can find on the show. Some pretty popular shows it's next to impossible to find anything about. Really there's nothing in depth with my story- just a nod to a zillion different characters

Don't know Wiseguy at all...

but there's a few on that list I could get very over excited about :D

I have 18 in use now. Most are just a minor intro of the character, maybe with a line or two. It's more of a 'spot the character" kind of fic and not anything deep

*is all excited*
No posting the answers - when it done - until us Brits have had a chance to play though, please??

Pesky time difference!

my plan way two different posts. So when you've read the piece you could then chose to click the link and see who is who

hee I was almost suggesting that :D

brilliant minds think alike and all that

It may never amount to anything though. I can't decide if it's boring random crack or clever. I'll have rely on a beta's opinion for that when its further along
