This week, The Undeclared War returns to resolve a fouryear-old cliffhanger – with Russian missiles possibly hurtling towards London – and I’m thinking: ‘Where does Simon Pegg buy those lovely shirts? And how do they stay so nice after a 24-hour global cyber attack?’Really they should call the show The Uncreased Blouse. That said, it’s thrilling telly, with a fine performance from Siân Brooke – a world away from her role on cop show Blue Lights. She looks very glamorous. But how does she keep her hair so sleek during a global cyber attack?

Photos: Channel 4  \nFour years after we were unexpectedly hooked on deciphering Russian malware in series one, cyber-thriller The Undeclared War is back.  \nWhen we last visited Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Danny Patrick (Simon Pegg) and his crack team of analysts were battling to defend Britain during an election period, tracking clues hidden in code while trying to combat increasingly sophisticated fake news. Brilliant intern Saara Parvin (Hannah Khalique-Brown) had also been aided by Russian programmer Vadim Trusov, who risked everything to help her – before the finale suggested the UK was on the brink of a terrifying military escalation.  \nNow we pickup moments after that cliffhanger ending.‘It’s delayed gratification in the extreme,’ laughs Simon, who plays GCHQ’s Director of Operations. ‘It’s only three seconds later for the characters, but a four-year wait for viewers!’  \nJust when Danny and the team seem to have gained the upper hand, the apparent Russian threat proves to be part of something far bigger. Worse still, there’s a mole inside GCHQ– leaving Danny unsure who, if anyone, he can trust.  \nAnd for Danny, the crisis also becomes painfully personal. Blue Lights favourite Siân Brooke joins the cast as his wife Dr Barbara Napier, a senior Chinese linguist at GCHQ. But with both bound by secrets, their marriage is placed under unbearable strain.  \n‘She has her own department and secrets that Danny can’t know about – and she can’t know about Danny’s work,’ Simon explains.‘They have an odd","cbCaiozYpRuhik3M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiozYpRuhik3M","pdf",19532602,3,1,33,"English","en",105,"# TV Features at a glance\n## TV Features\n## 7-Day TV Listings\n## Radio Features & 7-Day Listings\n## Puzzles\n## Letters","[{\"question\":\"What is featured in Total TV Guide for 18-24 July 2026?\",\"answer\":\"The issue highlights TV features and a broad set of listings, including drama coverage such as The Undeclared War, alongside sections for soaps, streaming, films, sport, radio, puzzles, and letters.\"},{\"question\":\"Which show is specifically discussed in the drama section?\",\"answer\":\"The drama section focuses on The Undeclared War on Channel 4, describing its return and the unresolved cliffhanger involving GCHQ’s cyber-defense and a possible mole.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the TV Licence information emphasize in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes that a TV Licence enables viewing live TV on all devices, covering live TV across pay TV services and streaming services, and also BBC iPlayer.\"}]","Total TV Guide -
