The series was a co-production between Kindle Entertainment and Turner Broadcasting System Europe, with Decode Enterprises handling distribution.

All the music was written by Glenn Keiles, excluding some songs heard in the "Intelligence Agency Cafe", which were co-written with other songwriters.

When master spy Dirk Bannon fell in love with his Russian arch rival, Natalia Knockemoff, things could only get complicated.

Now they've been decommissioned, and are supposed to be living a normal life with their three children – Spike, the wannabe secret agent; Elle, happily retired; and a rather odd Boris.

The action is based in three major locations – the Bannon home, the children's school and the local café, which is run by Des, Dirk's former personal ordnance officer (gadget master).
