Times had certainly changed since the original Mission:Impossible. First telecast March 18, 1989, as part of the "M:I" revival series, "Spy" guest-stars Shane Briant as Dr. Yuri Nicolai, a KGB colonel --- not the villain of the peace, but instead a new member of the IMF team! The mission: To locate and destroy a chemical-weapons plant being operated in Africa by cashiered British Intelligence agent John Christie (Tim Hughes). Written by Michael Fisher, "Spy" first aired on March 18, 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
