I agree with previous reviewers about the exceptional quality of this programme, and yes, sad to say, with one of them about the changes in some characterisations later on. The tale was low-key but frankly engrossing. THE SANDBAGGERS was run twice by P.B.S. in Grand Rapids, Mich. in the middle 1980s. The saga seems to end pretty abruptly, so much so that I quizzed a friend studying at Oxford. Were the limeys holding out on us? He said he did not think so, and since much time had elapsed since production, it seemed reasonable. From this web site he was right, but I cannot help wonder whether THE SANDBAGGERS had been meant to go on. Too bad it did not.
