Early 80's spy series ??

Very vague I'm afraid, but does anyone remember a TV series featuring a highly secret organisation, I think it was BBC, and the only scene I remember was set on a narrowboat with the two main characters discussing whether if ordered too, they could kill their own grandmothers. As I said very vague, but it's been troubling me for years. Any clues would be much appreciated, thanks.

Could it have been Sleepers with Warren Clarke and Nigel Havers? They played a couple of Russian spies who had been activated after many years of living in England.

Thanks, but no, I remeber sleepers, the one I'm after was quite a while before that. Sleepers was good stuff though, may be worth a search. Thanks again.

If it helps I think one of the actors in it may have been Robert Powell, still hoping for some joy, cheers.

I think you are talking about "The Sandbaggers". This show was on from 1978-1980. Awesome Show!!!!
