Clare Higgins is a very underrated actress - her expressions are faultless and she could act with her face alone.

This is great, thanks for posting. I've been on a John Thaw/Dennis Waterman/George Cole deep dive dive that started with The Sweeney, Morse and Minder. It's gone on to reveal all sorts of great shows and movies, including this one. It's always good to find something old of quality that's new to me.

Cheers for your comment. Yes, I've been on a similar route in the past. One of my subscribers recently recommended John Thaw in an early 80s prog called "Mitch" - though I haven't seen it. In early May I'll be uploading the first episode of The Voyage of Charles Darwin , where George Cole appears as Josiah Wedgwood. It was made in 1978, so not long before Minder began.

Excellent story cast and cinematography. Thanks for sharing. Not so long ago there were tons of great and well done films.

Brilliant ! Thank you for loading.

Great to see Dennis Waterman in a really meaty dramatic role… great actor, long career ( Just William, Minder, New Tricks and I saw him in live theatre “Windy City”) RIP

Great to see Terry again.

When we are first introduced to the Peter Vaughan character and the film is rather blurry for a very odd moment I thought it was going to be Arthur Daley.

I watched this when it was first aired and it's still as good now ..thanks

Cheers for that.

I'm a fan of Dennis Waterman especially when watching him on New Tricks. I'm a really, really big fan of Sir Detek Jacobi, whose career I've followed very closely on screen & on stage as well as on TV.

Now that’s what I call “well done”..thanks!

Best actor in New tricks Dennis waterman

Thanks for posting this. I think there were 3 other episodes after this pilot. Good actors but I think the whole storyline was very implausible. No way you could get away with posing as someone’s brother with whom you supposedly grew up with for 14 years and not be immediately found out by your own brother nor could you completely lose an accent that surely would have ‘baked in’ by age 14. Peter Vaughan was a great actor but he could have done with a lot more accent coaching, his Belfast accent was ropy to say the least. But still I’m glad I watched it, thanks again.

I was at college in Warrington the year that the IRA bombed Bridge Street. I'd been heading to Liverpool that day to see friends and if I hadn't missed my connecting bus I could have been walking along the top of Bridge Street. Other friends from college were in the street at the time, one was stood by the bin that the first bomb was in less than 10 minutes before it went off. Tragic about the two young boys that died that day, but then this programme is a reminder that the Republicans and their families suffered too. Since the Good Friday Agreement the peace has been delicate but let's hope that it continues. The Catholic part of the population has a higher birth rate than the Protestants so one day they will be able to peacefully and democratically vote to rejoin the South.

A friend came to visit me in England in 2004. She was apprehensive of the terrorism in Europe. We stayed at the Tavistock Hotel. We missed that by a year and maybe 200yards. 12 Years earlier I walked past a Bureau on Oxford Street that was blown up later that day. I was probably in the blast area for 3 minutes. It just shows how unlucky one has to be to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What an excellent show

Some great acting talent.

This is great 👍

I was a bit bewidered when I started watching this movie, as I thought there was a lack of coherence between the scenes. Then I became clear as an amateur about what the "pilot episode" means, and that the "seperate" sections are intended as highlighting of the background of the story and the characters. Nevertheless, it was worth exeperiencing the actor's performances - not least Peter Vaughan's ability to portray people with power and authority.

Watched this today and really enjoyed it.

Preposterous scenario. Dennis Waterman does a very good impression of an Englishman not even pretending to be an Irishman.

great series Looking forward 1/4

Really loving this so far. Can't wait for the next three.

15:15 ''He's a Highlander, by God; the last sound he hears should no be that of a wailing woman!'' - Angus MacLeod

1:35:27. What do they call that sound? It's like a reverb-y, echo-ey kind of effect on actors' voices. I used to hear that on shows like "Miami Vice".

@FoogouFilms

Ай бұрын

Yes, you're right. Echo put through reverb. Back in the day - say at Abbey Road studios - they had special reverb rooms where a speaker and microphone were placed to get just the desired balance. The echo back then would have been via tape, but by the late 80's (and here in 1993) I guess they'd gone to digital processing.

@@FoogouFilms That makes sense, especially when they do all that editing.

Possibly the same streets / location as used in Harry’s Game

Harry’s game was the better of these programs but this is really worth watching lots of great actors

I grew up in an Anglo-Irish household. My father maintained that "the English left Ireland of their own accord." Hearing this, my mother (b.1913) --perhaps recalling when the Black and Tans visited the family farm on a roundup--said that "the English were driven into the sea with pitchforks, and he knew it." Some library research proved that they both oversimplified 800 years of history, but overall my mother was correct. This movie features all the layers/"circles" of history, conflict, religion, politics, ambiguity, ambivalence, and betrayal that characterize Anglo-Irish relations. The Good Friday Agreement, signed April 10/98, hopefully, will change the foregoing and lead to lasting peace. Erin Go Bragh.

Never forget that for a nation freedom is the greatest good in the world. Without freedom there is no life and the loss of freedom cannot be compensated with speeches or labor; but only with a fight full of sacrifices. Remember that this fight for freedom can never be led by a social class but only by a nation! It is the task of your Movement to transcend all social classes and to form a nation that is able and ready to achieve the very best.
