- Enemy at the Door
"Enemy At The Door" is a British
television drama series made byLondon Weekend Television forITV .The series was shown between
1978 and1980 and dealt with the German occupation of Guernsey, one of theChannel Islands , during theSecond World War . Many episodes portrayed the balance of power and fragile harmony between the islanders and the German occupying forces, and how it was threatened by either resistance action or over-zealous clamping down by the Germans.The islanders were chiefly represented by the respected local doctor, Philip Martell (
Bernard Horsfall ), who struggled to maintain the peace while the Germans were led by Major Dieter Richter (Alfred Burke ), who was inclined to be lenient on the Guernsey populace but whose approach was challenged by his more conventionally "nasty" SS counterpart Hauptstürmführer Klaus Reinicke (Simon Cadell ).The series also marked the TV debut of
Anthony Stewart Head as a member of the island resistance.Episode List
