Representations of terrorism and ethnicity in Spooks

Series 3, episode 10

Q.1 What view of terrorism is conveyed to audiences?
-They are contrasted with the 'goodies' (the couple, Adam and Fiona) to be made to look immoral and loveless. Emotions don't cloud their judgement. The terrorists and the couple are binary opposites.
-Middle class, smart, business-like, scheming.
-1 male and 1 female, both foreign. Think they are superior to other races (when Ahmed is holding people hostage and he talks about his religion/race being superior).

Q.2 Mise-en-scene, camerawork and editing?
