To mark the release of new FBI thriller Quantico some of the Metro.co.uk team channelled their inner secret agent and got strapped up to a lie-detector – cue sweaty palms and racing pulses.

Each of the team had to assume a different identity from the series and attempt to convince the lie-detector that we are in fact top FBI agents.

As you can tell from the video some of us were better at this than others. And it all went to pot when we were asked some very direct questions about our working habits and colleagues… awks.

Check out the trailer for Quantico – which airs on Thursdays at 9pm on Alibi – below.
