When the Marines went into Granada to "save" those four medical students, the outcome was pretty much guaranteed: the students were rescued...
...ACTRESS ON TV SHUNS MAKEUP MORE defiantly than Helen Mirren. As London's detective chief inspector Jane Tennison, she wears every sag and wrinkle as if it were a combat medal. In Prime Suspect, last year's smashing PBS mini-series imported from Granada TV, Tennison struggled to prove her investigative mettle to male-chauvinist colleagues.

This time, in 35 UP, they are mostly a dour lot, soldiering edgily on, recounting their promotions and sackings, their new children and divorces. The trio...
