Harry's Game: The Complete Series
A Cabinet minister is gunned down outside his home in London by a member of the Provisional IRA. Security protocols come into immediate effect, but the assassin evades them and manages to get back to Belfast unscathed. The military send in Captain Harry Brown - a soldier who specialises in deep cover work in hostile situations - into the Falls Road area of Belfast, a place notorious for civil unrest. His mission: to infiltrate himself into the local population, hunt down the assassin and kill him on his own territory - proving to the IRA that they are not safe, even in their "own back yard". It is a terrifying game of cat and mouse, taking place in a civilian-occupied war zone, where one mistake means certain death.
Based on a best-selling novel by ex-ITN correspondent Gerald Seymour, this critically-acclaimed top ten ratings winner stars Ray Lonnen (SANDBAGGERS) as Captain Harry Brown and Derek Thompson (CASUALTY) and its haunting theme - by the Irish group Clannad - reached the top five in the UK singles charts. The theme music was nominated for a BAFTA and the series won director Lawrence Gordon Clark the prestigious Golden Leopard's Eye award at the Locarno International Film Festival. HARRY'S GAME has only ever been made available commercially as an edited VHS - this DVD contains all three complete and unedited episodes.
This drama will appeal to people who enjoy war movies, cold war espionage, thrillers and archive television fans.
This release also includes a newly-recorded interview with Ray Lonnen about Harry's Game.
