- Synopsis:
Unseen for over 40 years, 'Espionage' is one of the rarest and most sought-after ITC series. Produced by George Justin and Herbert Hirschman, this anthology series of 24 plays covered everything from the then-current Cold War to 19th century China, from Johnson's London to intrigue/in Kenya and Moscow. 'Espionage' is one of Lew Grade's first successes with a transatlantic production team, featuring both British and American writers and directors, including three plays directed by the Oscar-nominated Michael Powell. With one play, 'The Whistling Shrimp', actually shot in New York, it's no wonder that this series attracted talent of the calibre of Roger Livesey, Stanley Baxter, Anthony Quayle, Sian Phillips, Donald Pleasence, Dennis Hopper, Patrick Troughton, Barry Foster and others. - Actors:
