Espionage and thriller serial Blood Money was the first of three BBC productions to feature the character of Captain Percival who works for Special Intelligence. In this six parter he is drafted in to track down the kidnapped son of a prominent UN official.
It quickly becomes clear that a German terrorist group, headed by Irene Kohl, is behind the kidnapping. The cast featured two prominent ex-members of the Secret Army cast in the shape of Bernard Hepton and Juliet Hammond-Hill.
