Neil Burnside (Roy Marsden), the steely D-Ops of THE
SANDBAGGERS, a covert three-man team of spies operating at the height of the
Cold War. It's an appropriate comment to describe the entire series. Created and
Written by former British Intelligence officer Ian MacKintosh, any given episode
is more likely to spend time discussing a mission than showing the mission
itself... it's several episodes in before a Sandbagger is even armed. Emphasis
is on the politics and pressures of a life lived in shadows, trading gunfights
and explosions for cracking dialogue and fascinating characters. It's an
approach that fans of Homicide Life on the Street will more than appreciate.
