Miranda Raison has said that if her character in Spooks is killed off, she would like it to be in the line of fire.

Miranda plays junior case officer Jo Portman on the show and told MSN:

“It’d have to be taking a bullet for Harry [Section D boss, played by Peter Firth], that’d be the ultimate, wouldn’t it?” she said.

“Leaping in front of him and taking multiple bullets, that’s how I’d like to go,” she said.

“I think everyone believes the cast don’t know when they’re going to get killed off until they read it in the script, but you do a get a warning.

“You just hope that if you go, it’s by mutual consent and you’re not getting chucked and bumped off,” she said.
