WOW! I am primarily a film and american TV fan, I use my TV for things like Friends, Fraiser, Star Trek, Buffy, Dark Angel, and as such it is INCREDIBLEY rare that I EVER watch any British productions, but as it happened I was bored one Sunday night, and had seen the promo for "The Bombmaker" and it seamed like a decent little two-parter, so I sat down and watched it.
HELL IT WAS GOOD!
Story wise, it build up amazingly, the script was well planned out, well written. The acting was amazing especially from Kirwin, characters were given the necassary depth to grow and evolve over the two parts.
Not to say it was perfect, for one, the score was terrible, just a jangle of incidental music with an overly agressive drum beat. The ending was also rushed, while events with in the two parts led up to an amazing dramatic showdown where Andrea turns the situation on the terrorists, but its then ruined by the all too easy "cops rush in" which was a terrible way to end the show as it all went to plan and was well just to easy.
All of that being said, the sheer style and grace of the series is fabulous, if you get the chance to check it out on DVD or in re-runs make sure you DO NOT MISS IT!
