Made for ITV by Central Independent Television, it starred Christian Burgess and Patrick James Clarke in the title roles.
In the pilot episode, the action concentrated on SAS Major David Barber (played by Stephen Hattersley) who resigns his commission after being forced to undertake a badly-planned hostage rescue.
He was Headhunted by elite private security company Saracen Systems and is partnered up with an Australian ex-Army sergeant Jack Carne (John Walton).
Saracen Systems, operated at home and abroad, usually Africa, but could only carry firearms when on foreign missions.
This was a glossy, expensive film production, perhaps intended to bring back the success of previous ITV action drama like The Professionals.
