When a stake-out goes wrong and throws Maggie - in charge of the brief - into a personal crisis that threatens to put an end to her career. Nigel seeks Fred and Tessa’s help to pull her back from the brink. An all-female detective outfit, the “Eyes Enquiry Agency“, is formed as a front for the Home Office’s new security operation the Covert Activities Thames Section (or “.“ for short). Initially led by ex-Oxford Union President Pru Standfast (Rosalyn Landor), she was followed by experienced ex-cop Maggie Forbes (Jill Gascoine) (who later led the section), computer genius Frederica “Fred“ Smith (Leslie Ash), and later Tessa Robinson (Tracy-Louise Ward). Their contact with the Ministry was Nigel Beaumont (Don Warrington). The team dealt with a variety of crime from theft to blackmail, to espionage and terrorism.
