It is a lot of fun. I watched the show on PBS in the 1980’s (must have been 83 or 84) it was rebroadcast cast a few years ago. It is a lot of fun.

I am planning on picking up the 2004 Reilly book by Cook to learn more. Memphis, the genesis of the SIS is a brilliant story. I am planning on picking up the 2004 Reilly book by Cook to learn more.

I managed to record the series on VHS and it is now available on DVD. The series took some creative liberty with his actual career but not too much. Despite Reilly's amazing career he is not that well known. There is a paperback "Reilly: Ace of Spies" you would enjoy by Robin Bruce Lockhart who is ths son of a colleague of Reilly. There is also a great story about "C", Reilly boss at British Secret Service and his wooden leg. I won't say as it is too good to spoil! Indeed this is an fascinating series.
