Summary: a good story
Review: This story was written by a person that served in MI6. This makes it very realistic. This includes the politically skilled but espionage incompetent upper management that hamper the effectiveness of the agency. (Called toadies in British slang.) It also includes morally grey area operations and the ambiguous situations the agents have to make decisions in. There is a minor problem in the occasional interjection of very biased political statements in the character's mouths by the author. This usually occurs in contrived situations that would not happen in real life.The writer disappeared without a trace after the 3rd season and so there was no 4th season. The last episode had to be written in an ambiguous way to connect with either no 4th season or with one.

Summary: Finally on DVD! The best TV show ever!
Review: You can't imagine how excited I was to hear that "The Sandbaggers" was gloriously released on DVD! I hope that now this program will receive the long-awaited praise and recognition it richly deserves. Rarely do we see a TV show that recognizes that there are intelligent people out in the audience. "The Sandbaggers" did just that, with excellent writing, excellent acting (Roy Marsden is brilliant!), and excellent direction. I first came across "The Sandbaggers" when I was in junior high in the early 90's (I'm now 23). I absolutely loved staying up late at night to watch the PBS Mystery programs on Fridays. Back then, I'm sure most of the dialogue and plot went over my head, but I still enjoyed the show. An exceptional show such as this might tempt people to do a remake of the series, but let's stop that thought right there. This program's a classic. Let's not tamper with greatness. Due to the poor quality of the original material, the sound slightly fades in and out throughout the DVD series, but don't let that stop you from buying this gem.
