I quite enjoy "The Sandbaggers" in small doses and it can be an interesting series. There is no way I can call the above series a classic, nor is it the best Spy series ever made (that honour goes to "Callan"). I find "The Carpetbaggers" to be far too talky and deprived of any kind of incident. There isn't anything wrong with the acting and the writing is pretty good. But the series simply doesn't sustain my interest. The look of the series has left it dating rather badly. It was filmed on video for the studio scenes, where as a lot of British television was being made on film. It's OK but not a masterpiece.
