When I was younger, about the only thing I would watch were British TV shows that made it over here.
Anybody remember "Reilly, Ace of Spies"? And "Danger UXB"? Probably the two best shows I've ever witnessed until The Sopranos came along.
Danger UXB had the most unbearable suspense. Sometimes they would kill a major character when the bomb defusions went badly! So you never knew just how it was going, just like the characters in the show who didn't know if they were going to live or die day-to-day.
Reilly Ace of Spies was based on a real character, one of the most fascinating rogues of all time. Worthy of its own thread I'd say.
