Talk:Reilly: Ace of Spies
Mini Series
Terrific British mini-series. Aired a couple of times on PBS in the United States and then again on the Arts & Entertainment channel in the ninties. Now on DVD. Can be purchased through A&E. This was the production that put Sam Neill on the map so to speak.Takes place during the first twenty-five years of the 20th century. I'll be adding to this page over the next few weeks. jcordell
- I look forward to it. I've been trying to get ahold of this for awhile now. - Nyles
Yeah me to, but my parents have the set right now. But I will be taking the kids to see their grandparents in a couple weeks and I will attempt to retrieve the boxed CD set. If I accomplish this I will be screencapping it. Cross my fingers. --Jcordell 23:32, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Technical Gaffs
Though I like this mini - series there are some real technical gaffs regarding firearms. There is one scene where Reilly takes his Luger to a London gunshop to have it worked on. The clerk looks it over, shakes his head and tells Reilly "You've been firing Parabellum in it again.". Reilly smiles sheepishly and says "I'm afraid so." Huh? The 9mm Luger is often called the 9mm Parabellum as well. It was developed for the 1908 Luger. There are other things like that scattered throughout, but it's still a very watchable production with very high production standards. Which I have come to expect from British period pieces. --Jcordell 18:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Screencaps (finally)
There. Only took me seven months after building the page, but there they are. --Jcordell 12:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
