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!
It had been a few months since I had rented the first disc, so I was not so sure how well I'd be able to pick up the thread again.
Luckily, Edge Of Darkness is so superbly memorable, that I had no problems whatsoever.
Thoughtful, intelligent, riveting, thrilling - I could go on forever.
This is a must see.
