THE IPCRESS FILE

Lucy Boynton stars as Jean Courtney in ITV's brand new high octane spy thriller, The Ipcress File.

Based on the classic novel of the same name by Len Deighton, this is the first major screen adaptation since the iconic film starring Michael Caine in the role of Harry Palmer, also based on the novel.

Set in Berlin in 1963 this version stars Joe Cole as Harry Palmer, a former British Army sergeant now stationed in Berlin and smuggling surplus army goods back and forth across East and West Berlin. However, it's only a matter of time before he gets caught.

Lucy Boynton plays Jean Courtney.  An upper-class young woman engaged to a tiresome fiancé, who's labouring under the impression that she's a secretary at the BBC. Instead, she's secretly a spy.

The series also stars Richard Hope, Claire Cox & Will Hislop. 

The Ipcress File premieres on ITV on Sunday 6th March at 9pm.  Click here to watch the series.
