Both a critical and ratings success on its original ITV transmission, The Sandbaggers was lauded in 2003 by the New York Times as being "The best spy series in TV history".
'The Sandbaggers' is a nickname for the Special Section of the British Secret Service - a team of special agents who were deployed during the Cold War. Run by the dour, single-minded Neil Burnside (Roy Marsden), the 'Sandbaggers' are headed by the brash but conscientious Willie Caine (Ray Lonnen). In a game of cat-and-mouse between foreign powers, the stakes are high and the chances of a Sandbagger being killed in action is not small. An ex-Sandbagger himself, Burnside must try to keep his operatives alive while contending with the political machinations and dictates of the government.

This second series of the brilliant "Sandbaggers" may be even better than the first. Neil Burnside has become even more of an emotional mess and the stories are often almost unbearably tense, despite how little action the episodes contain. All the episodes are excellent, particularly "Decision by committee", which deals with the ramifications of a hijacked aircraft and "Operation Kingmaker", in which a paranoid Burnside starts to compile a dossier against a hated colleague who may become his new boss. Try and catch this series if you can.
