The Fourth Arm Part 2 (BBC-1 14 Jan 1983, with Angela Cheyne)

Published

on


In episode two of The Fourth Arm Major Gallagher is back in the UK and needs to gather a team of special operatives to take out the V1 rocket base. He needs to gather it quickly too, the V1 rockets have the potential to cause chaos to Britain.

Gallagher’s recruits are a motley crew and not all what you would expect, one is even safe cracker George Macklin languishing in prison. Another is a French singer and another still is a boffin with no active wartime experience.

The team also need to find out as much about the base as they can.

This is just as much an introductory episode as the opener, it’s very strong though as Gallagher slowly gathers his crew together.
