Whenever I have a watch a film on TV, I always give it a chance until the adverts come on, to make my mind up as to whether I want to watch the rest of it or not. This was a film that drew me in so I carried on watching it, but on reflection, maybe I shouldn't have bothered. The problem is that you don't know whats going on half of the time, and it drags on and on and on. No doubt if you watched it a second time it would make sense, but I didn't want to take the chance there was something better I could be watching. The soundtrack was odd, a bit like you used to hear on The Man From Uncle but with bloops and bleeps added by the best synth money could buy in 1972. I think if you like this kind of film, you should give it a try, but it wasnt for me. I think I once saw a trailer of a TV series on similar lines, but for the life of me, I can't recall what it was. Maybe this was the TV movie of that? Well acted well produced, but well.....i dont know.
