Anybody remember Saracen?

[RetroDude]

Back in late 1989, ITV showed a series on Saturday nights called Saracen, usually after 9pm. It was hailed as a modern version of The Professionals, about two ex-soldiers who carried out dangerous tasks for a private security company. There was a trailer for the show before it premiered which had The Pet Shop Boys' Into The Night playing over scenes of the main guys in action.

Here is the intro to the first episode Decoy.

Saracen was spun off from a successful TV movie shown the previous year called The Zero Option. Here are clips from it.
