“Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais”: how good to see that caption on British television once more. Here they’ve adapted Alan Furst’s bestseller for a two-part spy thriller set in 1930s Poland.
David Tennant plays Jean-François Mercier, a decorated First World War hero juggling diplomatic duties with information-trafficking. An excellent cast features Anton Lesser and Julian Glover, and the location filming in Warsaw is a boost. But the broth of accents and intrusive jazz score sometimes jolt you out of the drama. Still, it’s a good, old-fashioned yarn, in the mould of Reilly, Ace of Spies, where stripy barriers across forest roads and trenchcoated figures skulking in the darkness are de rigueur.
Spies Of Warsaw airs on BBC Four at 9pm on Wednesday 9th January.
