Largely forgotten, the series follows a team tasked with stopping illegal drugs from getting into the UK. Starring Larry Lamb, Martin Kemp and with a truly bizarre lead performance from Miriam Margolyes, is the show actually good or does it serve as an interesting look at a particular era of British drama?Lastly, a show that had a show that had BIG impact when it launched in the US and on Channel 4 in the UK.
