IMDb profile |
The character Tom Quinn was replaced here by Adam Carter, since Tom messed up on Operation Flytrap, an operation to attempt to stop the construction of a nuclear bomb in London by a terrorist equivalent of MI5. Tom began to sympathise with Professor Fred Chambers (played by Ian McDiarmid), and attempted to abort the operation in a misguided attempt to reconcile the professor with his family. Quinn left MI5, retiring with a large pension.
