Written and produced by Richard Cawston.
Commentary spoken by Michael Flanders.
"Once in a while comes a television programme that seems to justify all the rest... It had me enthralled for eighty-five minutes" (L. Marsland Gander, Daily Telegraph)
"...a brilliant, exciting, essentially tragic film" (Peter Black, Daily Mail)
"I am proud that Britain made this film. It should be compulsory viewing for everyone that possesses a television licence" (Neville Randall, Daily Sketch)
"...stimulating..." (Maurice Richardson, The Observer)
"...enthralling..." (Maurice Wiggin, Sunday Times)
"Perhaps the BBC will take the hint and let us see it again soon. Certainly few programmes of the sort seem to offer more at a second viewing..." (The Times)
