Strange Days: Cold War Britain: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Historian Dominic Sandbrook takes us back to the strange years of the Cold War.

This is not just a story of the superpower arms race or daring spies, real and fictional, it is a story in which all we played a crucial part.
