Although the plot lines are not bad the first episode alone should alert to the cheap production values of the series - filmed in Australia the episode for most of the time is supposed to be in London, and if there was a IMDb prize for the number of location goofs it would win hands down. At least in cold war days you could imagine that a far off East European country was being represented... here the location is just jarring....a red phone box is moved around scenes, the Thames apparently has a modern suspension bridge and one star hotels in London have uniformed members of staff to open doors (I wish).
I laughed my head off at the policeman demanding to see the motorists licence (a la USA) something that just doesn't happen in the UK. A pity that the series was done on the cheap due to the writers strike - it could have been a worthy successor to the original (and on the other hand despite its faults it's still better than the film travesties).
