'Game, Set and Match' is a 1988 television serial directed by Ken Grieve and Patrick Lau and written by John Howlett. It is based on the books, 'Berlin Game' (1983), 'Mexico Set' (1984), and 'London Match' (1985) by Len Deighton.

It was hugely expensive to make and a massive flop (the sound engineering is an utter disgrace, and Ian Holm cast as Bernard Samson is ludicrous). But it deserves to be saved, I think.

Mexico Set: Part 1:
Werner and Zena notify Bernard they have spotted Erich Stinnes, a KGB major who was responsible for Bernard's capture in East Berlin, in Mexico City. Bernard and Dickie Cruyer travel to Mexico to attempt Stinnes' defection to the West.
