BBC MI-5 drama Spooks would often look to the past for inspiration, pitting its main characters against fictionalised versions of real-life incidents from dark chapters of human history, but one episode reversed this trend.

The show's season four premiere saw the military intelligence team working around the clock to thwart a terrorist attack in London that came with eerie echos of the 7/7 bombings in the UK capital, except it was filmed months before the actual event.

The fictitious and real-life incidents shared spooky similarities, such as a bomb being planted at Kings Cross station.

When the episode aired, the BBC was forced to include a disclaimer informing viewers that it wasn't based on real-world events.
