While I know the movie quite well (just watched some part of a rerun the other night), I never saw a single complete episode the series.

Oh no, surely that was "George Bush"! ?

As for the series, it must have had something going for it, as it ran for longer than the Korean War. I quite liked it and I think all hands in the UK watched it, just as in USA.
