Outstanding Drama
This is a truly wonderful adaptation of Alistair Maclean's novel with a 5* cast.
Every second makes you anxious for the lives of the characters and had many very tense moments along the way.
Even if you don't usually listen to war stories please give this a chance as it might surprise you.
