CGiii Comment

A supreme example of the mini series - sometimes the BBC do get it right.

The Hollywood re-make is an inferior comparison. Stick with this...you won't regret it.

We all love gay spies.

The(ir) Blurb...

Ambassador to Washington is the pinnacle of success in the Foreign Office and the position is offered to only the brightest and the best. But Ambassador Mark Brydon finds his skills tested to the limits when, following a major diplomatic incident, he is thrust into a web of tangled relationships and conflicting interests.
