- TriviaAlthough set in 1970s London, the show was almost entirely shot in Birmingham. The MI5 headquarters building (both interiors and exteriors) was the recently closed Birmingham Central Library, a much criticised and largely unloved example of 1970s 'brutalist' architecture, which has now (as of 2016), been completely demolished as part of a major city redevelopment scheme.

Featured review
I absolutely loved "THE GAME"...while it was on. Why not more than just one season, I'll never know. I love this genre and the 6 episodes drip in espionage as if it was written from the pen of John le Carré's monozygotic identical twin. It has a certified fresh rating of 95% for a reason. I suggest you watch it with closed captions on to help you understand the British accents better. I would also suggest you watch this on your DVD player so you can rewind the parts that might confuse you too much. The show reveals ways in which the USSR would plan out espionage years in advance and how it infiltrated into top positions of government. Deliberately paced and brooding in tone, yet laced with caustic wit, personal tragedy and sinister inference, The Game keeps us wondering how far will a foreign government go to disrupt and destroy our way of life in the west. It is a first rate production of the Cold War terror that we all feared at times growing up in the 60's and 70's.
