The film is riddled with quot-ables. Its class British actor cast, were more people to look into its background, would excite anyone. It was screened as part of a short series of dramas of which it was head and shoulders above the rest. The BBC should release this because my by-now adhesive-tape-coloured VHS copy wont last forever. The BBCs best kept secret - its unbelievably classic. For a change, Molina isn't playing a stubbly Eastern European. He's a lovable fat bloke whose practical jokes and lies dig him deep into a government scandal. Stealing some photocopied random documents from his MI5 brother, Molina attempts to secure a book deal with 'Diary Of A Hit-man', only for the publisher to offer him and advance......not for the ten a penny book - but to kill his wife! In the meantime, said wife has hired Bennett and Lloyd-Pack to bump off her husband. A muddle of honour amongst hit-men ensues. The tour-De-force performances of Molina, Bennett, Lloyd-Pack and Jack Shepherd as the duped MI5 investigator, not to mention every last one of the stars and supporting cast, make this one of the sadly long lost classics. Along with Butterfly Kiss, this is one hell of a case for petitioning the BBC to release on DVD. I'd say now if the BBC granted me copying rights, I'd buy the discs and re-distribute the pair of them on DVD for the cost of postage, such is my passion for both TV films.
