    Anyone remember this brilliant BBC thriller about nuclear cover ups?When this mini-series was first broadcast I was too young to stay up and watch it but I did see one episode late one night,the one where spolier alert the IRA man enters Cravens house to kill him.I only saw it in full recently when I got the DVD.Brilliant series from start to finish with the late Bob Peck fantastic in the lead role.I haven't seen the more recent remake with Mel Gibson but by all accounts its not very good.

    I have them both and can't speak highly enough about them. The series was very British and the movie very American - a vehicle for Mel Gibson but excellent despite that. Get it if you can and you won't be a bit disappointed.

    Haven't seen the American one but the BBC one was good.

    I re-watched it when BBC4 repeated it last year.
