    event drama of not only the highest calibre but also the most pressing necessity... Clear your Sunday evenings for the next six weeks

    Brilliantly done. I’m so glad it’s on

     Hugo Rifkind
    The Times     Full Review

    this adaptation, far from suffering, actually benefits from updating to modern-day Arab Springs and the arms trade... The Swiss scenes were genuinely unsettling

     Euan Ferguson
    The Guardian

    the near-perfect The Night Manager... simply great television.
