The Mask of Janus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Mask of Janus is a British television series produced by the BBC in 1965.

The series was set in the fictional European country of Amalia and dealt with the political interests of the British, American and Communist espionage communities within. Eschewing the action formula of its ITV contemporaries (e.g. Danger Man and the early seasons of The Avengers), the series dealt with more politically-oriented plots such as defections to the west, awakening "sleeper" agents and the leaking of official secrets.
