Drama: War & Disaster

A journalist's comfortable life in Vietnam is threatened by the arrival of an aid worker.

Drama starring Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser. The comfortable life of a British journalist in Vietnam is threatened by the arrival of a young American aid worker.

Saigon, 1952 - Vietnam is caught in the grips of war against the French. A jaded English journalist finds himself embroiled in the politics of war through a troubled love triangle. Leading a relatively undisturbed existence with his beautiful mistress, his complacency is disturbed by the arrival of a young American aid worker, whose interventionist political zeal jars with the older man - a problem made worse by the interest he poses in the mistress. Based on the novel by Graham Greene.

Knowledge, drama, comedy and the arts for a broad adult audience.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
