BBC spy thriller series set in Romania in 1978, during the Cold War.
The series follows the story of (the fictional) Victor Godeanu, the right-hand man to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, who is also a secret Russian spy. Set over the course of a week, the edge-of-the-seat drama sees him realise his cover is about to be blown, his attempt to flee to the West and the diplomatic crisis that ensues.
Aidan McArdle had a major role playing Walter Simpson.
