Editorial Review:
Negotiating a World of Deception, Mistrust & Betrayal Academy Award nominee Pauline Collins (Shirley Valentine) stars as England's Ambassador to Ireland - one of Britain's most coveted - and potentially explosive - Embassy posts.
As created by award winning writer Russell Lewis (Monsignor Renard, Sharpe's, Inspector Morse, Kavanagh Q.C.), Harriet Smith's job as liaison and troubleshooter for Britain takes her into a world of corruption, scandal and crime.
Continually under fire, the Ambassador treads a perilous path between the aims of diplomatic saboteurs, the interests of the people of Ireland, the demands of her family and most important of all - her duty to Britain. approx. 5 hrs. col. Special Features: Cast Profiles / Cast Trivia

Rating: - Really nice stories!

It has something more, a portrayal of how outcomes can change when a trace of humanity is displayed by those in power. The deplorable dumbing down of the American media in recent years is nowhere evident here. Choose this one, if you are a self-respecting enthusiast of contemporary drama for the discriminating and socially aware.
Rating: - First rate drama
This is one of the very best modern television series available. Pauline Collins, a skilled comedienne, proves that she can handle a challenging dramatic role with immense skill and subtlety. The rest of the cast is similarly outstanding. The series, a product of several different writers, concerns the English ambassador to Ireland (Collins), her two sons, and several of her assistants. Each story, set in the present, is completely absorbing. There is a noticeable absence of sex and violence, intelligence ... Read More
