When it comes to mobile games based on TV shows, Gameloft has tended to focus on game shows here in the UK like Deal or No Deal and Countdown, while bagging big-name US dramas like Lost, Desperate Housewives and Heroes.

Now, though, the publisher is turning its attention to British dramas too, signing up BBC spy show Spooks for a mobile game.

Although they haven't announced a release date, it stands to reason it'll be out in time for the show's seventh series, which is due to air this Autumn.

The game will see you playing an MI5 spy fighting off terrorism and national security threats, with "access to the same technologies and resources used by the MI5 officers of Spooks".

Oh, and your favourite characters from the TV show will be in it too. We haven't watched for a few series, so we have a nagging suspicion all our fave characters have been blown up.

Anyway, the game will apparently include "point and click sequences, a discussion system and several mini-games", which makes us think it might be similar to Gameloft's impressive CSI mobile games.

Stand by for more news when we get our hands on the game.
