Excellent, but why? it's a clunky old 1970 series, shot on wobbly sets and some dodgy acting, particularly by Alfred Lynch. But it has some really interesting themes such as the rivalry between organisations on both sides of the conflict. The quality of acting is lifted by Robert Hardy who has some excellent lines and Philip Madoc as his foil. Other, now well known actors appear from episode to episode such as T P McKenna, George Sewell and Nerys Hughes. Well worth watching but don't expect high quality production values.

I watched this programme when it was originally broadcast and as far as I remember enjoyed it. The dvd set shows how much production and story lines have moved on since 1970 .Overlong storyline , the series could easily have been compacted into say 10 episodes ,as the french drama series SPIRAL is.very ,very disappointing purchase .

disc four sticks but you can just nudge and coach it along with patience it does spoil it a bit at the time but the brisk narrative and suspense soon makes up for it. and.You feel like you have lost the best friend or friends you have ever had by the end that is to say last couple of episodes..

A bit slow and lumpy at the start, but after a few episodes the cast start to get the feel of their characters. Once they hit their stride, it becomes a great adventure to remind us of how complex humans are and how many facets their personalities have.

Well as long as you accept it was made 40 years ago so everything is very 1970 (sets etc) and some of the storyline is rather vague to say the least it still, beats the rubbish on todays tv schedules.
