1 david from cheltenham: Ian Ogilvy, was simply great at this role, and handled it well, given that the Iconic Roger Moore, had done it prior to himself. Alas, those cast in drab payne grey suits and tan brown shoes, stationed up with the Gods in t.v. land, simply could not see it at the time for what it was truly worth!! Had it spun off into a big budget feature film, I believe it could have given the Bond Films, a real run for their money... but we shall never know. All said, I have heard off plans for a remake... anyone know more about this???
