BBC Nuclear Secrets - part 1 of 5 - The Spy From Moscow





Information:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nuclear Secrets is a series of spy thrillers exploring the key turning-points
in the race for nuclear supremacy. From the development of the A-bomb, via the
Cuban missile crisis, to the spread of nuclear weapons to the Middle East and
beyond, each story is told through the eyes of the men who risked everything to
proliferate their nuclear secrets and those who tried to stop them. Nuclear
weapons and the actions of these men have transformed the face of war – and now
the world could pay the price.

Today's offering – The Spy From Moscow – kicks off the series. Soviet Colonel
Oleg Penkovsky was a spy in the build-up to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 -
a conflict which brought people closer than ever to all-out nuclear war.

Penkovsky was one of the highest-ranking Soviet officials ever to spy for the
West, and he risked his life providing an unparalleled amount of information to
MI6 and the CIA. At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy could turn
to technical evidence unknown to the rest of the world provided by "Agent Hero" –
Penkovsky's codename. One of the most effective spies in MI6's history, Penkovsky
soon realised the KGB were on his tail.

With unprecedented access to KGB archives, the film shows the surveillance footage
taken by the KGB as they trailed Penkovsky across Moscow in meetings with his British
handlers – Janet Chisholm, a British diplomat's wife, and Greville Wynne, a British
businessman. Declassified CIA transcripts reveal that as America was being targeted,
so was Penkovsky. His dramatic story and tragic end is highly revealing of KGB
operations at the height of the Cold War.

Once opened, the Pandora's Box of nuclear secrets can never be closed.

Program aired on BBC 1 Mon 15 Jan, 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm 60mins.
