My Own Worst Enemy is an American television drama that aired on NBC in 2008. It premiered on October 13 and ended on December 15 after 9 episodes. The series was produced by Universal Media Studios. Jason Smilovic was the executive producer; David Semel was the director and executive producer. The final episode ended with a cliff-hanger, and the major plot lines ended without resolution. The series followed the life of American secret agent Edward Albright and his cover, Henry Spivey, who had no knowledge of his double life. Albright, played by Christian Slater, was implanted with a chip allowing his handlers to physically switch Albright's personality to that of his cover. However, in the pilot episode, there was a malfunction which caused Albright's personalities to switch at random, revealing his secret life to his alias. Henry was then thrown into the highly dangerous life of Edward, with no real way for the two to communicate except through short cell phone video messages.
This three-part miniseries from BBC stars David Morrissey as an ordinary cab driver thrust into the crime underworld when he becomes the personal driver for a powerful mob boss.
The British dramatic series Shades would seem to have been a crossbreed between the German theatrical feature Wings of Desire and the American TVer Touched By an Angel. Dervla Kirwan and Stephen Tompkinson were respectively starred as Maeve and Mark, a pair of earthbound ghosts who wandered the streets of London looking for lost souls to save or redeem. The catch was that the two spirits could be seen and heard only by those people who did not know them when they were alive. Six 50-minute episodes of Shades were telecast by BBC1 in 2001.
