I will forever search for dramas and mysteries in the style of Durbridge, the more complicated and baffling the better.
I've seen the pieced together film, and I must admit I don't care for it as much as I do the series, done over six parts as it was intended. The story unfolds and gets told the way in which it was intended.
In this first part we're introduced to our main character Kirby, and the beautiful intriguing Laura whom he befriends on the channel crossing.
There is enough intrigue here to hold your interest, you question Laura's strange behaviour, and wonder about Kirby's real line of work, he's the most dubious Insurance salesman I've ever seen.
The problem I have is with the two hitmen, David Gwillim and Ralph Bates look more like furniture salesmen then professional killers.
Intrigue aplenty, 7/10
