Espionage (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Espionage was a 1963 Associated TeleVision (ATV) series, distributed outside the UK by ITC Entertainment and networked in the United States by NBC.
The series of 24 one-hour monchrome episodes had no regular cast, choosing instead to follow various "spies" as they did their "jobs". The episodes featured spies for the West, for the Soviet Bloc, spies working for peace and resistance operatives. The episodes drifted between contemporary times, the Second World War and the interwar period.
