My spy family the love is the drug affair part 1
My Spy Family is a live action family comedy series created by Paul Alexander that was aired on: Boomerang in UK, TG4 in Ireland, Panda Biggs in Portugal, and Cartoon Network in France, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Poland, Romania, and South Africa. It is produced by Kindle Entertainment and Cartoon Network Europe. All the music is written by Glenn Keiles excluding some songs heard in the "Intelligence Agency Cafe", these have been co-written with other song writers.
When Master spy, Dirk Bannon, fell in love with his Russian arch rival, Natalia Knockemoff, things could only get complicated. Now they've been decommissioned, and are supposed to be living a normal life with their three children, Spike - the wannabee secret agent - Elle, happily retired - and a rather odd Boris. But can this family ever be normal? Not when you've got parents with a license to embarrass.
The show is about the Bannon family, who all have strong spy links. The parents, Dirk and Talia, were once arch enemy spies, but fell in love and got married. They now have three children (Spike, Elle and Boris) who have all been brought up with spy techniques as a matter of course. Spike's friend Travis (played by Richard Sargent) is commonly seen on the show. The action is based in three major locations, the Bannon home, the children's school, and the local café, which is run by Des, Dirk's former Personal Ordinance Officer (gadget-master).
Main characters
Dirk Bannon (portrayed by Milo Twomey) - Dirk is a former spy. He is married to his former arch rival, Talia Bannon, who also happened to be a spy. Dirk is usually a pushover to his wife. Together, they have three children: Spike Bannon, Elle Bannon and Boris Bannon. He is best friends with Des, his former Personal Ordinance Officer (gadget-master). He is rarely seen wearing something other than a tuxedo.
Talia Bannon (portrayed by Natasha Beaumont) - Like her husband, she was also a spy, but was also his arch rival. As seen in few episodes, she has better fighting techniques, as well as better spying techniques than her husband. She also tends to add the suffix "-sky" to words she says. She also is a master of disguise. She often refers to herself as "Mumsky". In "The Back in Batley Affair" she introudeces herself as Natalia Alexandrina Vladimir Knockemoff-Bannon.
Spike Bannon (portrayed by Joe Tracini) - The eldest offspring of Dirk and Talia. Spike is an expert in creating various spy gadgets. Many times, it is shown that he, along with his best friend Travis, try to sabotage any plans or simply to make fool of his Geography teacher Mr Vong, with whom he does not get along well. It is not known why his relations with him are not well.
Elle Bannon (portrayed by Alice Connor) - Like her mother, she also has very good combat skills and spy techniques. She is often seen hanging out with her friends Donna and Marcy in the school. Talia says there is a 7% chance that she is heir to the throne of Russia.
Boris Bannon (portrayed by Ignat Pakhotin) - The youngest offspring of Dirk and Talia. He is an expert in setting booby traps and hiding. Though he is a member of the family, he is treated as the most unnoticeable character in the show. He is not often shown and rarely speaks and when he speaks he speaks Russian. There has only been one episode that revolved around him. Boris does not appear in series 3, as he is said in "The Back in Batley Affair" to be ruling Russia as he looks like the former ruler, which makes Talia proud. But returns in "The Boris Bounces Back Affair".
Recurring characters
Des (portrayed by Vas Blackwood) - Des was Dirk's former Personal Ordinance Officer (gadget-master). He is an owner of the local café, though his kitchen has many various types of gadgets which come useful during spy missions. He is best friends with Dirk, though sometimes that is not the case in few episodes. He has also shown interest in Talia.
Travis Mitchell (portrayed by Richard Sargent) - Travis is the best friend of Spike. He is very loyal to Spike and is always willing to help him. The actor who plays the character is a wheelchair user, but the show purposely does not mention his disability in the show. Instead they make fun of him because of his glasses.
Mr Ernest Vong (portrayed by Ramon Tikaram) - School's Geography teacher. For unknown reasons, he and Spike do not get along. He is mostly seen as being a victim of Spike's pranks. It is hinted that he is Indian, as there is a map of India in his classroom. In the episode "The Mum's The Word Affair", it is revealed that he lives with his mother.
Donna Jacobs (portrayed by Cascade Brown) - Donna is a close friend of Elle and is mostly seen hanging out with her and Marcy. Donna is obsessed with fashion, boyfriends and wishes to be a model. Talia often comments that she will be unable to be a model nor have boyfriends due to her ankles.
Marcy Desmond (portrayed by Kirsty Leigh Porter) - Marcy is a shy friend of Elle and is mostly seen hanging out with Elle and Donna. Most of the times it is observed that she is the exact opposite of Donna since she has no fashion sense nor has any boyfriend.
