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! -

Gripping and timeless
I remember watching this as child with my dad and not really understanding all of the implications but being enthralled nonetheless. Its even better when it all makes sense! Even though the 80s setting is evident, the acting, story and production is timeless - ahead of most on TV now - Bob Peck is tremendous and the haunting Eric Clapton score is perfect. Remember that the beeb repeated this series only a matter of weeks after it was first transmitted due to demand.
Disc 2 is at the top of my wish list! -
