I bought the full 8 disc series some time ago and watched the first episode, l had already seen it in the 1970's, l had seen Jack Thompson in a few Aussie films, but never seen Peter Sumner before, it was gritty, filmed on location, the interaction between Thompson and Sumner was always good, but Redmond Phillips as their boss took no nonsense from either of them, Sumner played a German born character, in the 1st episode called The General Sumner has to impersonate a German, and plays it right down the line, this is the basis of much friction between Thompson and Sumner, in fact in many episodes Thompson's nick name for Sumner is 'Adolf'. All in all a great series, l'm just about to start disc 2, l think l bought the series off Amazon, l give this series a big 10.
Currently playing on free to air on Channel 9 I've been re-watching this series and loving it! I'd originally watched this when it was first released but missed many episodes, now as an adult it's better than I remember it was 40 years ago...
Spyforce was a strong Australian WW2 spy/action series, with exciting scripts and a good cast. What made it stand out was the two lead characters - Jack Thompson as the archetypal Aussie and Peter Sumner as his German-born partner - who were constantly at odds due to Jack's doubts over Peter's true loyalties.
