Spooks MusicApart from first class scripts, brilliant acting from all cast members and slick editing, one of the most distinctive features of Spooks is the music used in the show.
For Series 1 to 4, Jennie Muskett composed the score, including that iconic main theme, for Spooks.
"The music that Jennie created has in my opinion, been one of the major reasons Spooks has become such an acclaimed international hit. I turned to Jennie to set the tone and create the template for the series."
- Bharat Nalluri
