Shoestring becomes a hostage negotiator
17 April 2023
No doubt about the theme of this series as the title tells you all you need to know about the subject matter. There were just two series of three episodes each and both are excellent. Trevor Eve, who first came to my attention as Eddie Shoestring over forty years ago, plays a hostage negotiator in a very calm and controlled manner, he is great in the role and incidentally, his real life wife, Sharon Maughan, has a small part in the first series as an executive in a pharma company. The first series is set in South Africa and the second India, making for plenty of exotic location shots. The story's are fast paced with twists along the way. A great watch, a pity they stopped after six episodes.
