Secret Army, Season 1; and book

[nwhyte]

This post has been a long time brewing. I watched the whole of the 1970s series Secret Army, and the sequel series Kessler, during what we must now call the first lockdown in the summer, and thoroughly enjoyed it. But I did not get around to writing it up at the time. Now I've spurred myself into activity by getting and reading the four novels

I was excited to see Valentine Dyall appear in the credits for Sapphire and Steel as the radio voice of a 1930 cricket commentator; it took Wikipedia to tell me he was the Black Guardian, though, as I knew him mostly from the Goon Show.

Congrats form a Brazilian fan of Secret Army!

Dear Nicholas, it was with great joy that I have found your blog. I have been myself a long time fan of Secret Army, though it was only show once in my country, Brazil, in the early eighties. Last year, I've finally managed to purchase the whole DVD set (including Kessler) and Andy Priestner's outstanding book. I have also had the privilege of exchanging e-mails with Angela Richards.
I have just googled and found your blog. I am eager to read all the Secret Army posts. Thanks for doing this!
PS: Just a curiosity for you: Here in Brazil, the titles of movies and TV series are usually mistranslated, not because TV staff do not know English, but because they always want to put their "own touch"... However, Secret Army was one of the few that happened to receive a better translation than the original title - here, it run as "Caminhos da Liberdade" ("Pathways to Freedom").
