878 Act of Betrayal
First viewed : 18 September 1988
This was a two-part drama about Northern Ireland which was a co-production between Ireland, Australia and the U.S.
Patrick Bergin played Michael McGurk , an IRA supergrass who starts a new life in Australia with wife Eileen ( Lisa Harrow ). The IRA aren't too impressed and send a professional hitman from the US called Callaghan ( Elliott Gould ) to find him. Complications arise with a girl called Kathy ( Deborah Lee Furness ) who sleeps with both men. I thought it was good at the time but little of it has stayed with me. I think in the end Callaghan decides not to go through with the hit, as you might have predicted from the casting of Gould.
