Plot Summary

Mr Palfrey is a mild, middle aged man - the epitome of a middle rank British Civil Servant.
He is also a spook.
This series focused on the more cerebral than physical aspects of the espionage business. It was perhaps this lack of action that was regarded as its major drawback for the typically prime-time audience on Britain's then largest commercial TV channel, ITV, and only one full series in addition to the pilot was made.
