The Ipcress File

I liked it. I thought Cole and Boyton were very good value as the leads, with Hollander providing good support. Does get a bit messy at the end but I'm here for series 2.

TIF has a fantastic cast, with Boyton and Cole doing some great work (if a little 'monotone') and by ep:5 I was really gripped. But then it all fell apart a bit. The ending was rushed, too much going on, too many attempts at creating some "fantastic" twists and turns. It was a bit like slalom skiing: its pretty nearly a straight line downhill, but with lots of unneccessary sideways movements. Dissappointing, but then again so are most of these TV series.

Just watch the original. Complete series.
