This is quite good although I've just watch two episode so far. A period drama that the BBC does so well.
The seven-part series, opens in 1946 in a London hotel where the rooms overlook bomb-damage rubble and “faded grandeur” is the decorating motif. T-Force — a secretive unit whose mission is to sweep up German scientists and engineers and their knowledge before competing powers (especially the Soviet Union) can get them — has set up shop there, with the scruffy and risk-taking Callum overseeing things.
His assignment is to win over Dieter), an aeronautical engineer, who along with his young daughter, Lotte , has been forcibly brought from Germany and is essentially a prisoner in the hotel. The British desperately want his help in developing a plane that can break the sound barrier, but Dieter won’t cooperate.
