Unmissable
Hugely enjoyable political thriller that is as relevant today as it was in the 1980s - if not more so, given the nuclear ambitions of the current US government (it's interesting to note that there's a film version of this currently at the planning stage [I believe]). Great performance by the late (and great) Bob Peck, ably supported by a fantastic cast.
Sadness perhaps at the realisation that the BBC don't appear capable of producing drama of this quality anymore.
All in all - completely and utterly unmissable! -

MI5/6 CIA & Others all give a new meaning to 'The good guys & the bad guys' -
