=============================================
Subject: THE SANDBAGGERS mailing list forming

Announcing the formation of a mailing list devoted to discussion of the
TV show "The Sandbaggers." From the FAQ (still under construction at
the moment):

THE SANDBAGGERS was a taut British spy series comprising twenty
50-minute episodes produced by Yorkshire Television, an ITV
franchise (i.e., a commercial regional British television
franchise). The stories centered on the elite covert operations
section of British Intelligence, nicknamed the Sandbaggers, and
their boss, Neil Burnside, himself a former Sandbagger but now
having to battle more with British bureaucracy than with enemy
agents. It was set contemporaneously with its original
broadcast in the late '70s and early '80s when the Cold War
still dominated the Western intelligence agenda.
