The Sandbaggers

I watched this series when it came out many years ago and I still remember how good it was. I think it's one of those dramas that will age well and will be enjoyed by veiwers for a long, long time.

I don't remember this one myself. But it looks like it was quite an interesting set of programmes. It actually started in 1978 although the majority of the episodes were shown in 1980 - they ran the last two series back to back almost. Anything with Roy Marsden has got be good so, it's in! Also, it make the list of programmes not match the title of the list, so another talking point!

I know there's only supposed to be 7 shows on the list of top 7 shows, but the Sandbaggers was one of my favourite TV programmes to come out of the UK. A spy thriller set in the offices of MI6 and government administration and the parlours, restaurants and street corners of London as opposed to the back allies of Berlin and Moscow. It was far more compelling than your average Shoot-em-up spy story.
