Great episode. Disappointed it's coming to an end next week!
Though I hear a second series has been commissioned, so we can but hope it makes its way over here.
Another 2 episodes I think, this was number 6 of 8Though I hear a second series has been commissioned, so we can but hope it makes its way over here.
It said feature length episode next week so I guess they will show 7 and 8 together to finish the series.
I'm sort of enjoying it and keep watching for the novelty value of the East's perspective, but the plot is made of Swiss cheese and some of the acting is a bit ropey (several nice young ladies though). I'd say more of a Trabant series than a BMW...but then I would fancy a go in a Trabant for fun.

Anyone else think it got abit daft last night?
A bit, yes.It was like they were doing a tongue-in-cheek episode but, in a weird way, that made it a bit more realistic I guess as they must have had fanatical people doing moronic stuff aswell as hardened spy-types.
I'm curious as to how it will end. Rumours of another series so will it just be open-ended?

It's been a bit daft the whole way through. Every time he ends up in a sticky situation, a fortunate co-incidence happens that removes suspicion from him. I don't think we got 1/2 way through the first episode without him doing something where in reality he'd have been caught.But if we embrace the daft, and accept the needle has swung towards "james bond" levels of luck to make it entertaining over factual. It's pretty good.

Next time will be Deutschland 86, where they are in a bleak north German town, befriend a young by and dress him as a skinhead, red braces, DM boots etc. The girls will be punks. Though I hear a second series has been commissioned, so we can but hope it makes its way over here.

I'm a bit confused how he crosses the border so easily, on a West or East German passport he'd be attracting the attention of the Western border guards surely?
I also wondered this...
I missed last week's episode and didn't read this thread for the week but have managed to pick it all back up.

Not really. there was little reason for anyone to be doing anything vaguely naughty in East Germany on a West German passport, so they could travel reasonably freely.
