Peter Barkworth doubled as writer and co-star of this six-part British TV thriller. Barkworth was cast as a British businessman, whose wife and daughter were kidnapped by the IRA. The price for his loved ones' freedom might well have forced the protagonist to turn his back on his own country in favor of a cause he hated. The Price was originally shown from January 10 to February 14, 1985. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
