Len Deighton - the Bernard Samson books -- 80's TV series ?

[funk odyssey]

Anyone like Len Deighton's series of spy books ? (in addition to the excellent Bomber etc)

Game Set Match
Hook Line and Sinker
Faith Hope and Charity

I'm re-reading them all at the moment but wouldn't mind getting my hands on the TV adaptation of GSM .... it was withdrawn by Len Deighton soon after transmission


Anyone got a copy of it ?

This 13-part mini series was directed by Ken Grieve and Patrick Lau; Deighton’s book was adapted for screen by John Howlett. I think the adaptation is pretty good; Len Deighton clearly doesn't and bought all the rights to the series to prevent re-transmission. Perhaps he knew something, as it was a ratings disaster in the UK.

I'm not sure you'll be seeing that.

I was hoping someone might have a copy!
