In reality, the Met has no such rank, its most senior officer being the Commissioner.

The fact that Tom isn't even mentioned in the first four books i.e., Stormbreaker to Eagle Strike, suggests that Alex is not very close to Tom. In the TV series, however, Tom is shown to be very close to Alex. Tom and Alex hang out everyday and in Episode One, when Alex was grounded, Tom says that he cannot go to a school party without Alex.

Point Blanc

As the series progresses, Alex becomes exceptionally more skilled at spying, to the point that he sometimes investigates and pursues some enemies by himself while not on an MI6 mission. The first of these was in Eagle Strike. [21]

Alex is described as being a strikingly good looking 15 year old boy, with fair hair (as said in Stormbreaker) or light brown hair (as said in Crocodile Tears and Scorpia Rising) and a handsome slender face that would “attract plenty of girls.” He also has serious brown eyes and a slightly hard, narrow mouth.

The series neatly captures the essential qualities of the book, delivering up a sassy, sarcastic Alex determined to get to the bottom of his uncle’s death, and equally determined to escape the clutches of the repellent Dr Grief and his associate, the sinister Mrs Stellenbosch. This dramatisation is likely to bring a new generation of fans, both teenagers and adults, into a series that has stood the test of time exceptionally well.Graham Adair • Smithers • Mark Kellner • George Adair • Tom Harris • Jerry Harris • Harold Liebermann White, Peter (23 April 2019).
