Perhaps I am being a bit thick but Archer escapes from a pace on Dorset and next we see, he is in the mountains some place ?

[mikey4444]

Place in Dorset.

[Zacs-Master]

Mountains? It looked like moors to me.

[Mamyalynne]

It was only a bit hilly.

[Zacs-Master]

Did Deighton's book end like this?

[naomi24]

I admire the fortitude of anyone who stuck with it. I gave up after about the first 20 minutes of the first episode.

[Zacs-Master]

It was a bit hard to follow. I don't think it made the book/tv transition very well.

[naomi24]

I couldn't understand what they were talking about. So much mumbling. I didn't think it worthy of enormous effort.

[Baldric]

I managed the first two episodes before the interest sorta faded.

[Zacs-Master]

The swine. She's gorgeous.

[Hopkirk]

I gave up half way through episode 2.

[mikey4444]

Still none the wiser !

I thought it was an anticlimax, although that was probably Deighton's fault. But I don't think the fate of the girl shouldn't have been solved, as she was in almost every episode.

But he hung on to the film I noticed !

aar there be mountains in Darzet there be ....

actually you are right - there arent
highest point in Darzet aaaargh is Pilsdon Pen at 900'

( I went to skool there see ? aaar)

moors ? east Darzet has a few small ones

well spotted Mikey missed that - I was so shocked that my fellow country-men could collaborate. King Charles escape when he was funnelled down to Lyme ( but was warned he was gonna be caught like a RAT in a TRAP ! 1651 ) he slept at Broadwindsor ( the very house has a plaque outside it ) and then turned back somewhere between Broad and Lyme ( 10 mi on horse back )
passing pilsdon pen I think ....

Lots of men fleeing other men with rifles over open fields
kinda wondered if the fliers had made bad life choices

[Peter Pedant]

yeah but it is not over is it

they havent done the doo-dah ...
( cant do a spoiler like Mikey does)

[Old_Geezer]

What ? Does the fat lady have to sing ?

[Samuraisan]

I also have up half way through episode two. It was too complicated for a Sunday night, and the mumbling never got much better

[Prudie]

Well it's taken over 10 answers for me to even know what you're talking about, especially as you used the word Archer - totally threw me. Not watching it but there is nothing in Dorset that you would call a mountain and Pilsdon Pen is the second highest hill, the top spot is Lewesdon Hill next door to it.

[Peter Pedant]

pilsdon pen 909' - or 277 m
and Lewesdon 279 m

six foot higher ! I am shocked etc - thx
never too old to learn

is SSGB really over ?
well I'll spoil it for you then ........spoiler alert
All the dead people have died from radiation burns as they are constructing a small dirty bomb, which they plan to set off in central London at the Nazi celebrations of the defeat of England. So they ( Nazi bigwigs ) all die AND there is widespread contamination of the hangers on

Archer is the guy who has to set if off as everyone else is dead shot or in prison - and this triggers the resistance fight back....

// So much mumbling. I didn't think it worthy of enormous effort.//

bejayzus and a lot of hun-speak sorry German - and the Germans arent great mumblers ! One critic cruelly observed SS-GB could be nicknamed " I weel only mumble zees wance" - a few papers re-reviewed the series after they had cleaned up the dialog.
