For me as a young teenager, this was absolutely perfect "adult" television – it had character-fuelled animosity, political macinations, high stakes conflict and lots and lots of violence (some of it featuring blood). As a pay-off for thirteen weeks of quest (as and when the story arc was remembered) it really felt like it did the job… and it still does for me, even 40 years later.

So many of the story beats that you pick up on here are the ones which will be lodged in my memory for the rest of my life. Thanks for giving me another chance to relive and enjoy them with this write-up.

All the best

Andrew
