4.0 out of 5 stars
Very nice, 15 Feb 2010
By Mr. C. J. Nicholls "Chris Nicholls" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Codename: Icarus [DVD] [1981] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I've been trying to get the BBC to issue this in the UK for a long time, but no luck, so I'm glad to have this very nice edition of a classic spooky BBC serial. It was fascinating and creepy when first shown (and I'm old enough to remember that), and the synopsis is good - I hope a new generation is encouraged to view it.

Off to a great start, 19 Jan 2007

This really does get going well. Martin is a geeky teen. He's lonely,or rather alone in realms of physics and math he has no one to share with. And, as in so many teen fanatasies with a paranoid edge, he's a target of vindictive teachers and school administration. When an invitation to a school for gifted children suddenly appears, seemingly from nowhere, he leaps at it.
It exceeds anything he could have guessed at. He has huge freedom in his studies and schedule, amenities like a five-star hotel, and adults that treat him deferentially (the teen fantasy thing again). But a few birds die - dropped out of the air, in flight, and a few more secrets emerge. More people on appear on the scene, representing more and larger powers. Finally, the biggest secret of all is exposed, and ...
... Nothing. Let's just leave it at that until you see it for yourself. I felt that I had just seen two thirds of a movie, and was eager to see the end. No, that really was the end. Yes, Martin really is a good kid, just one with a really bad script.
