Secret Army was one of a host of British television dramas from the seventies and early eighties that would put to shame the current crop of banal exploitative garbage that passes for drama. The story was about the struggle of the Belgian resistance against German occupation in World War 2.
This was a low key, character driven series that never failed to keep you interested. It featured the lovely Jan Francis as an intelligent, strong-minded resistance fighter - so much more believable than the treadmill driven heroines of today's TV dramas. The talented cast and involving story lines always gave you a sense of depth and a feeling of how high the stakes were, something that today's dramas with their contrived and blood soaked scripts completely fail to do.
