I'm truly shocked by the low ratings that this programme has received. This is the second week of watching and the acting has excelled in every way. The atmosphere of the whole drama is claustrophobic and secretive. A sinister air floats. Unpredictable actions by all. The little girl is mesmerising. This is the sort of story that dives off at tangents, enabling little opportunity for second guessing. It is clever, intriguing and quite possibly the best drama the BBC has produced in many years. Hardly anything has been dramatised about that critical moment after WW2 when all sides were scrabbling for any piece of intel from German scientists they could get their hands on. This dramatisation paints a fascinating picture, and the internal tension amongst those wanting to elicit the information by different means enables strong characterisation to emerge. If you want to watch something that captures you, and holds you for its duration, and then gets you talking long after the programme has finished, this is the drama for you. It's brilliant!
