Can anyone remember the ITV series staring Benedict Taylor in the early '80s? From what I can remember it was on a weekday afternoon and was about a youth looking for his father??? The opening sequence showed a car ramming a checkpoint barrier in somewhere like East Germany. I don't know if it continued to be set there or in the UK?

Did a search on IMDb and this is the link to Benedict Taylor's cv. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0852028/ I have no idea which series it was, but perhaps the list will jog a memory or two for you. xxxx
Yes, it was definately "Barriers". It used to be on a Sunday afternoon down here in the South West of England. I'm afraid I can't remember too much about the story as I was too busy drooling over Benedict Taylor!

A-ha, yeah, it was Barriers! Unfortunately I still can't remember what exactly it's about?! I would have been 7 years old in 1980 so that sounds about right for the mini-series!
Yes, I remember it. It was about him wandering around eastern europe looking for his father - although that hardly came into it - that was just a reason for him to be wandering around so he could meet different people and have different 'adventures' each week. A bit like David 'kung fu' Carradine wandering around america looking for his brother. The car crashed through the Austro-Hungarian border. There was some sort of implication that his dad was involved in spying and had either been defected or kidnapped, but like I said that hardly came into it.
