Bob Lambert himself has, however obliquely, addressed the controversy surrounding his relationship with Jacqui and their son, an Special Demonstration Squad tactic at large. In a 2011 interview, he said that it would take considerable time and the cooperation of his colleagues to even begin to give an explanation for why he did what he did. However, in another interview, he apologized. “With hindsight I can only say that I genuinely regret my actions. I apologize to the women affected,” he said (per Vice).

Jacqui, for her part, says that she’s fielded offers from the entertainment industry to turn her story into a movie or miniseries. TBS, meanwhile, is living with the knowledge that he may have inherited a rare genetic condition from his father, a condition that killed his two half-siblings on his dad’s side. As for the tactics of its agents, Scotland Yard said that it does not condone its agents having sexual relationships with targets in the course of their work but that it does not rule it out in all situations. “Never say never,” the police force’s attorney told a court.
