All Passion Spent + Get Lost! + Harry's Game

A 1980's drama hat trick.

All Passion Spent is a BBC adaptation of the 1931 Vita Sackville-West novel with an impressive cast that included Dame Wendy Hiller, Harry Andrews, Maurice Denham, Patrick Barlow, Graham Crowden, Geoffrey Bayldon, Faith Brook. I recall seeing this on PBS Masterpiece Theatre in the US.

Get Lost! was the origin of the Beiderbecke trilogy. This 4-part Alan Plater screenplay about the same type of characters portrayed by Barbara Flynn and James Bolam in Beiderbecke are played by Alun Armstrong and Bridget Turner here.

Harry's Game is an undercover/infiltration thing based on the 1975 novel by Gerald Seymour.
