12 ... I just got through watching a six part series on Amazon Prime called “The Game”. It was a British TV production. The best Spy thriller I have seen since the George Smiley series and Len Deighton series, “Game, Set, and Match”. It was set in 1972 and concerned MI5 trying to stop a KGB plan for England. It was taught, well written, and kept you guessing and on edge till the very end. ... Now this is the type of genre and imagination missing from Hollywood. Highly recommend it.

I recall watching PBS ~1987 when it broadcast a low-budget BBC serial about MI6. I thought it was outstanding.

IMDB - The Sandbaggers

Thanks for the heads up on The Sandbaggers, I just checked Youtube and it’s available to watch. Will give it a try.
