QUOTE FROM PETER KOSMINSKY WRITER, DIRECTOR, AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER:
“The Undeclared War has been many years in the making. It imagines how the next few years might play out in the domain of cyber warfare – a battle unseen by the public but with potentially devastating consequences. In my work, I’ve tried to shine a light on aspects of publicly policy which affect us all but where the details of what is taking place, often behind the scenes, are not well understood. I hope this drama will give audiences an insight into a world certain to impact our lives significantly in the years ahead.”

The Undeclared War has had some irrational and irreverent reviews, but it is outstanding. If you think it impossible for a teenage student to decrypt code quicker than an alleged expert cryptographer you have obviously never been in the real world of espionage and encryption. We binged all six episodes and if you are into and understand espionage it’s compelling watching so whatever you do don’t miss Peter Kosminsky’s Undeclared War series on TV. If you loved Bill Fairclough’s fact based epic spy novel Beyond Enkription in The Burlington Files series you’ll love The Undeclared War and vice versa. They are both curious, intense, realistic and nerve racking espionage thrillers. In The Burlington Files the protagonist Edward Burlington has even been likened to a posh Harry Palmer (aka Michael Caine). See Channel 4, Peacock and TheBurlingtonFiles website.
