Undoubtedly the greatest thriller writer and storyteller this country has ever produced. By some distance my favourite author.

An author who mastered the twist in the tale.

What about Ronald Dahl- and his Tales of the Unexpected?!

Granted the acting was shockingly shit- though worth a watch just for the woman dancing in the opening credits! bbolt

Also reminds me of Pools- though absolutely NO way you could boil the current shit show down to one 25 minute episode! :angry-tappingfoot:

not just a top author but excellent when it came to politics before he just dissapeared.

RIP Frederick Forsyth
