Excellent story and production

As a young pup I had just discovered a new fangled gadget called the "transistor radio". I do believe it was the first thing I ever purchased by myself. The big advantage of this gadget was that you could easily sneak it into bed and listen beneath the covers when you should be asleep. And what did I listen to? THIS! That tune has stayed with me all my life. Wonderful to listen to it again. Thank you OP.
Enjoyable period drama

This well done BBC play imparts a good impression of the Cold War spy dramas happening during that time. The story, music and sound effects easily and believably transport a listener into that time period. It was a pleasure to listen to it.
Brilliant!
