 A spy series for the gels December 9, 2004
14 out of 25 found this review helpful
WISH ME LUCK, a British telly miniseries that aired in the late 1980s, revolves around the perils facing English agents working with the Resistance in WWII occupied France. pFemale viewers are the target audience for this melodrama. Real Men need not tune in. The shtick to draw in the gels is the fact that the two main protagonists are women. Liz Grainger (Kate Buffery), a young English housewife and mother, whose husband is serving with the Royal Army in Egypt and whose brother has been killed flying for the RAF, volunteers for clandestine duty as a courier in Normandy while leaving her pre-pubescent daughter with Mum. Half-French, half-English Matty Firman (Suzanna Hamilton), who escaped the German invasion with her French mother to live with her English grandfather in Stepney, is teamed with Liz as a radio operator, even though she has a tendency to leave mission-sensitive material lying about. A third member of the team is Colin Beale, played by an adolescent Jeremy Northam. Women in the audience will think him cute. pWhile there are tense moments as our heroines find themselves in dodgy spots, the plot focuses mostly on emotional relationships: Matty with Liz, Matty with Colin, Liz with her husband, Liz with her daughter, and Liz with her control behind the lines. pBeyond the touchy-feeliness, which may leave male eyes glazed over, this is too obviously a low budget production - except for the rather striking period hairstyles on several of the female characters. The cheesiness is in the details. The Teutonic invaders are less Aryan and more out of UK central casting. And when they speak Deutsch among themselves, the awkward tone and overly careful pronunciation is reminiscent of memorized speech drills in first year German. Moreover, though Liz and Matty are exhorted in spy school to act like Frenchwomen when on assignment, the latter in particular, once in enemy territory, punctuates loud conversations with Bloody This, Bloody That, and Sod This - all potentially within the hearing of any leather-coated Gestapo ape skulking on the nearest street corner. pA decidedly more clever and much better spy series from the UK is THE SANDBAGGERS, broadcast in the late 70s and featuring an MI6 covert operations team. And if you want to see a truly excellent WWII period piece enjoyable by both sexes, I recommend FOYLE'S WAR, currently in it's third season, the first two of which are available on DVD.

This brilliant and moving drama from the 80's still holds true with its deep and insightful look at the French resistance during World War Two. The story takes us on a journey through the lives of the resistance fighters, the communities affected by the occupation, and of course the dastardly Germans. Never allowing sentimentality to cloud the true events of what happened in those terrible years, "Wish Me Luck" is a wonderful programme and should be applauded.
