Part of a great Monday night's viewing on ABC in 1979. Danger UXB may have been first, then The Oracle and then 1990 with Edward Woodward and Robert Lang.
Anyway there were several episodes - not one as seems to be suggested - and to its further credit there was the album cover of The Babys classic Broken Heart amongst the wall decorations. My favourite group.
How easy it will be to obtain any of this very entertaining drama is conjecture, but the acting and plots were first class and if it has been lost then it is to our shame. John Gregg and Pamela Gibbons were an early example of a life in the fast lane brutally handsome terminally pretty couple.

This film began an interest in photography with me that has lasted to this present day.
Its visual splendour alone is my recommendation for anyone to watch this film. Make sure that you study every scene closely and multiple times. After all Kubrick does not insist on a multitude of takes for nothing!
Where possible I was led to believe that studio lighting was avoided and hundreds of candles can be seen in the indoor scenes.
The skin tones are perfect and the incredible beauty of Marisa Berenson adds to the visual feast.
Some great characters appear in the film including Captain Feeny (Arthur O'Sullivan).
A masterclass in lighting and a highly entertaining film that must be watched slowly and in detail many times.

John Hurt is far and away the best actor I have ever seen, anything that he was in was a recommendation in itself.
I remember enjoying the series when it aired here in Australia on ABC in 1982.
I have never forgotten the brilliance of the exchange between Porfiry Petrovich (West) and Raskolnikov (Hurt). The acting is probably the finest I have ever seen in a dual scene. Worth watching for these scenes alone.
The reviews seem to be a bit down on the series but it is interesting enough basically a great display of British acting.
