William Drew of The Foreign Office, learns from a source, one Miss Baines, that Russian and German spies are trying to steal a British document.
This could easily have been a bit slow, a little dull, but I found this quite an absorbing story, several points of intrigue, I like the initial setup, Drew's presence at the hunt etc, but it does move up a gear when the murder occurs.
Derek Jacobi is really rather good here as Drew, a truly wonderful talent, he injects some real life into the part. Lisa Harrow also performs very well, quite an early role for her. I also enjoyed Denise Coffey's bold character, Miss Baines.
The acting in general was good, but I found the story itself most so interesting. Lovely production values as you'd expect.
8/10.
