Telegraph:
It is not clear why the head of MI6 needs to be covert since the head of US spy agencies are not.In his dangerous job the MI6 spy's identity needs to remain a closely guarded secret.
So you can imagine his surprise when, during an interview with the national broadcaster, his carefully chosen disguise of a fake moustache failed him spectacularly.
The hapless spy, known only as 'John', had been trying to discuss the role that MI6 played during inteligence operations.
The first operational intelligence officer to discuss the role of security services in front of a camera was being interviewed in disguise for the BBC magazine programme The One Show.
But during the interview the heat of the film crew's arc lights made the adhesive weaken on his moustache.
The incident could almost have been a scene from the current NatWest TV advert which shows a moustache falling off a ludicrously-disguised spy or from the cult-tv show Get Smart.
...
The moustache incident will not be screened when the interview is broadcast on Tuesday..
...
One of my favorite lines from the original Get Smart is when Maxwell Smart holds a gun to a guys stomach and says "I have to warn you, I hardly ever miss at this range."
