The best tv spy series ever
The sandbaggers was a series about the British secret service. Its scripts were mostly written by Ian Mackintosh and were realistic and amazing.

The leading role was brilliantly played by Roy Marsden as Neil Burnside.

The sandbaggers was one of the shows you want to see again and again.

Trivia

Although Sandbaggers is meant to depict Britain's S.I.S., the structure of Burnside's department is modeled on the C.I.A. Directorate of Operations.

Quotes

Burnside: If I want to send an agent to the lavatory, I need the Foreign Secretary's permission. If I want him to do anything when he gets there, I need the Prime Minister's written approval!
