PALFREY OF WESTMINSTER, Series 1-2 (TRAILER)

In the vein of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, this classic 80s British drama seen on PBS follows a British spy hunting down traitors in the heart of government. Golden Globe nominee Alec McCowen (Gangs of New York, The Age of Innocence, Travels with My Aunt), "plays [Palfrey] to perfection" (The Times) in this stylish drama about a mild-mannered British civil servant who's secretly a counterspy. He describes himself as "just a civil servant." But in the cloak-and-dagger world of the British security services, Mr. Palfrey is an invaluable player in the spy game. A master of counterespionage and a spy-catcher extraordinaire, he's smart, discreet, cunning - and likes to do things his own way. His new boss (Caroline Blakiston, Poldark, Return of the Jedi's Mon Mothma) quickly realizes the talents and the dangers of the deceptively charming, utterly ruthless Palfrey. (10 EPS)
