I've seen a lot of TV movies in my time as a student, the majority the normal waste of time that US television throws out. This one, however, was well crafted and plotted and had a very nice twist at the end. Having only seen Richard Dean Anderson in MacGyver and Stargate I was surprised with his excellent performance rather than the rather gamut of expressions from A-B that he normally gives. It was a pleasant surprise to see Daphne Zuniga after quite a long time dating back to The Fly II. Also nice to see Robert Guillaumme in a leading role again. I can't say that I ever take Jane Leeves seriously after her Benny Hill days but she just about managed to cope well in her role. All in all a highly recommended film.

Gripping and unbelievable (SPOILER!!!!!)

Warning: Spoilers
If only it had been longer. Series 2 equalled and surpassed series 1 for twists and turns that could never be taken seriously but kept you stuck to the screen for the whole hour. Whilst the first series had a little too much James Bond gadgetry in it, series 2 had better acting (especially Matthew McFaddyen, better storylines and an ending that made the house blowing up in series 1 look tame. The only quibble is, if Tom and Harry were so close, shouldn't Harry have realised sooner that Tom had 'gone bad'?
