Number Ten (Downing Street) * |
| Upmarket political thriller. British WEST WING meets the BOURNE films. |
The famous address of the title has a new, young,
dynamic incumbent, elected on his promise to get
to radical grips with terrorism and big-time crime.
He has serious opponents. Terrorist bombs have wrecked
a commuter train, and the Prime Minister himself
is almost killed by a suicide bomber in St James's
Park. There appears to be a mole within Number Ten,
providing inside information on his movements. A
bright, and equally idealistic junior member of his
staff suddenly finds himself compromised and implicated
as the main insider suspect. He is plunged into a
desperate flight from MI5, the police, and the London
mob leaders who have exploited the terrorist situation.
He can only prove his innocence, and expose the true
culprit within Number Ten, with the help of a girl
staff member there. This adds to his problems as
a) he is in love with her, and b) she is herself
sceptical of his reliability. * |
