Enjoyed the first two series This 3rd series has some stunning locations Unfortunately Michael J Jackson as Kit Vannson was appalling His acting so wooden that he would make the Woodentops seem animated !! The climax is spoiled by the riduculous ending with regards to Kate Buffrey totally naff and totally unbelievable Spoils what might have been a good drama but the ending goes into the realms of fantasy In the real circumstances Kate Buffrey was a British spy with a price on her head -rather than negotiate with the Germans they would have had her tortured and shot like so many true life agents so the truth is obscured for a fairy tale ending Agents im afraid such as Noor Khan Violete Tzabo etc didnt have such an ending Theirs was the Gas Chamber or worse

I looked forward to watching this as a big WWII fan, but the acting was truly dreadful. This series could be used as the perfect example of uneven acting. Actors go from happy to explosively angry in less than a sentence. I don't know if it is the fault of the actors or the director, but it is bad enough to render the whole series truly laughable. Hogan's Heroes was TRYING to be funny. I'm sure these folks were not. Another problem is that actors disappear from the series without any explanation. I've watched a tremendous amount of British television and this series is an embarrassment to the industry, I'm sure.I went back to look. Suzanna Hamilton who played Matty in the first series was probably the worst of the acting and the best example of the good to bad mood swings. Deary me, she could get violently mad over nothing!Another example was the romance between Luc and Emily in the third series. Lordy, if I only had a dollar for every time they fought angrily and then made up, I wouldn't be here writing this....

Those captivated by "Wish Me Luck" when it aired on television will be delighted to hear that it is now being released on DVD. This is an exceptionally well-done drama centered on the work done by civilian volunteers for the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) in France during World War II.There are, of course, other works of this kind, but "Wish Me Luck" stands out as particularly well-researched, providing innumerable small details that should please aficionados of the intelligence and resistance work of the war. The focus of the series, though, is clearly on the romance, suspense, and drama of the story. Overall a fantastic work.

This is a most engaging story of WW2 special agents sent to France. The characters are strong and the drama is well directed. There may be many stories of this kind but this is one of the better ones that keeps you hanging on waiting for the next episode.Sadly this has not been repeated (to my knowledge) on TV - more's the pity. With the dearth of good drama, and a never-ending diet of soaps and "any old excuse to put the public on TV" it would be good to see this again.
