MI5 and Blue Peter collaborate to recruit next generation of spies

BBC’s children’s programme Blue Peter has gained access to film inside the headquarters of security service MI5, as part of an initiative to find three junior wannabe spies.

The three winners, dubbed as “CBBC intelligence officers”, will be allowed into MI5's Thames House in London to see how the intelligence service works.

The visit will be filmed by Blue Peter, and marks the first time cameras have been allowed in the building.
