Ambassador Complete Series (2011)

Editor's Note SHIRLEY VALENTINE star Pauline Collins toplined the BBC Northern Ireland drama program THE AMBASSADOR (1998) - one of the first UK programs to plunge headfirst into the sticky conflict between the Irish and the Britons; the entire two series program appears in this box set. Collins plays Harriet Smith, an English ambassador assigned to the mercurial, potentially deadly Embassy post of Dublin, Ireland. Flanked by an MI-6 Operative and a Commercial Attaché, she must navigate her way through such issues as religious cults, kidnappings, terrorism, and land disputes, meanwhile attempting to avoid conflicts between her personal and professional lives. The twelve episodes featured herein include "The Road to Nowhere," "Vacant Possession," "Cost Price," "Unholy Alliances" and "Playing God."
