Peter Barkworth (Where Eagles Dare) and Harriet Walter (The Sense of an Ending) star in Peter Ransley's twisting BAFTA-nominated drama, set at the height of The Troubles. Geoffrey Carr (Barkworth), a major player in the emerging computer industry, is newly married to the impetuous Frances (Walter), a much younger woman with a wilful daughter from a previous marriage. He'll go to any lengths to make her happy, and stretches his finances to buy a crumbling Georgian estate in County Wicklow where Frances spent part of her childhood. Aside from commitments on the new house, Geoffrey's continuing control of the company depends on an uncertain research deal with a visiting Japanese consortium. Frank Crossan (Derek Thompson) is an Irish Republican hitman on the run from British authorities in the North, and from his own commanders. Seeking refuge with old flame Kate (Aingeal Grehan), he hatches a plan to kidnap a wealthy Brit for a hefty ransom to fund a major arms deal. The two worlds collide when Frances and daughter Clare are brutally snatched and removed to a bleak hideaway. Geoffrey's immediate impulse is to cave in to the kidnappers demands but nothing is straightforward when a personal crisis plays out against the forces of political intrigue, high finance, and the full glare of the media. First broadcast in 1985, the series is written by Peter Ransley (Fingersmith, Fallen Angel) and directed by Peter Smith (No Surrender, A Perfect Spy), with a haunting soundtrack by David Earl and the RTE Concert Orchestra. In a rare acting role, a pre-teen Susanna Reid (Good Morning Britain) plays Clare, and the cast also includes Simon Jones (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Brideshead Revisited) and Adrian Dunbar (The Crying Game, Line of Duty). Review: Quality thriller. - Saw this series many years ago a well acted and well written thriller, great fan of Peter Barkworth, DVD arrived in good time and in good condition.

Very good story and plot line.
This was a very good film. The acting was good and the story line and plot excellent. There was a lot of tension in the story line, I would recommend this to friends.

The Price 2dvd
I`e been waiting years for this mni series to come out on dvd. I watched it when it was first broadcast in the 80s. Superb performances by Harriet Walter and Peter Barkworth. Questionable Irish accent by Derek Thompson (of Casualty) but you soon forget that! Harriet Walter always seems such an underrated actor in the UK (even though she`s become a Dame). Definate 5 stars.

Worth Every Minute
This is a very interesting story with a lot of feeling for the time and location in Ireland. I only took one star off due to lack of Subtitles!
