    Top drama

    Secret Army was and is one of the best T V dramas ever, still excellent after nearly 45 years. Some of the best script writers were used eg N. J. Crisp.

    Always believable and brilliant acting.

    Continuity well done in this episode

    Continuity well done in this episode, giving some credible scenes of targets both from the air & ground, markers etc. Story well done and harrowing, bringing in good 'cop' & bad, and exemplifying the dangers the underground were facing, and from whom.
