That Saracen screaming along..that sound takes meback to every tour I did...6 in all..came back alive and in 1 piece..
5 seconds into theme... ''Up next on ITV is the semi-final round of Britain's Got Talent. Then stay tuned as we're back in the jungle, with day 3, of I'm A Celebrity Get Me out Of Here. Then we conclude the evening with our 9pm film classic, Love Actually''... music ends. Cue McDonald's advert.
With you all the way on that one. The same channel that broadcast The World at War . . 4 hours in My Lai. . Dramas such as Auf Weidersehen Pet and Minder . . . . Is now just assisting the rapid decline of the country. . . . And now back to The Jungle.
OHHH yooooooooou. I couldnt help but laugh at that though
Served with the British army in Ireland beautiful country sad past rip everyone involved 😢
You mean people fighting for independence from Crown rule? How very 18th century of you, old sod! You boys never shoulda been there. Sorry.
I’d never heard of “Harry’s Game” before, and I had only known the vocal due to Chicanes Saltwater track, but there is something about this clip that gives me the chills, and yet I keep replaying.
i watched it the other day, very dark gritty and powerful. The music is so fitting.
Northern Ireland...... protestants v Catholics with the British Army caught in the middle.....it's a really powerful drama about the troubles as they were called to for tat shootings, indescriminant bombings... And even mention the shit the hated RUC had to live with...thank God it's over
I feel the same way. I've never heard of harry's game before. I just recently learned about it when I was watching an old episode of top gear. When I heard it I was like " is this origins of saltwater" then I shazamed it and here we are. Very powerful.
it is the image of the army tanks on the streets- if you are young and from the UK can you imagine army tanks where you live? This was probably in your parent's lifetime if they are 40 plus, not so long ago.
@@swipeleft3996 And here we are: tanks in the streets of Paris, soldiers in the streets of Australia, Austria and so much more countries to come. This will never end until those truly in power are taken down.
This song reminded me of an Irish actor called mark oshea. RIP. He was a wonderful man, friend & a very raw & talented actor. I think of him from time to time. He was in a film called “you, me & Marley” he played the character “worm”.. watch it & remember him 🙏🏻
I remember it well, and if ever a theme tune captured an atmosphere, it was this.
I was fascinated by this mini-series after hearing the theme by Clannad so many years ago. I wondered what the meaning of the title was "Harry's Game", but as the story progressed, it became apparent that it revolved around a cat-and-mouse game between Harry Brown and Billy Downes, each trying to hunt down the other. As the ending here goes, it ends on the tragic note that both men were killed, and the lesson that violence begets violence. For the Troubles of Northern Ireland, it was a never-ending conflict of such violence, and the only way to end it was the Good Friday Agreement in the desire for peace. Still, it's a very depressing story that demonstrates how violence will keep going if both sides seek it...
Amen brother or Sister wherever you are!
Y'know, I've listened to Clannad my whole life but never once have I seen this show. This closing outro is morbidly somber, a perfect match for the song. The Troubles in Ireland were troublesome indeed.
Beautiful piece of music
I lived less than a mile and a half from those streets shown here in Leeds, where this was filmed for Yorkshire TV, for 48 years, I know them so well.
I didn't know it was filmed in Leeds until I lived in woodhouse for a while in the 90s. Bloody loved the place.
What is the name of the street in those end credits, do you know?
@@3eagleduncan Areas of Woodhouse (not Burley as Wiki says) Quarry Mount, Christopher Rd, Johnston St (now mainly demolished). It was filmed winter 1981/2, (I managed to get into one scene). A telephone box appeared at the steps at top of Elm Street/Beulah Terrace, then taken away. Rider Road east to West at 1:28:00, tower is Quarry Mount School.
A very poignant and haunting piece of music, it brings back memories (good and bad)of when I served in Northern Ireland.
I think the end title of the first episide shows Harry alone in his bed room, deep in thought isolated and alone, its gripping stuff
Just think how this would be ruined now with "coming up next" adverts.
baseballfan99 next on bbc1 north west EastEnders
1st watched this when it came out in 82 in Palace bks near Holywood co down .a very young 21 year old 😮
That was a brilliant awesome mini series
This song gives me so much strenght....... makes me feel like a child again and to fight life's sorrows like a brave
Fantastic tune, great series
the scream of the sarrycans gearbox takes me back to the province
Wow. i only recently discovered the theme from "Harry's Game" and it was such a moving piece, I had to look up the context. Just from this scene alone, I can sense the power and poignancy of the story. As an American who was a child of the '90s, I have vague memories of seeing news segments on TV discussing The Troubles as things led up to the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. No matter where and how it manifests, violence in the names of differing political and religious views never leaves people and things the same as before, but I hope that everyone who lived through and was affected by those awful times in Ireland are now finding healing. Healing and peace are always worth striving for, whatever the cost. Blessed be. )O(
Alicia Nyblade. I only just found this page. Listening to the music whilst reading the comments. When I got to yours, the combination of the song and your words just made me burst into tears. And I'm a sixty year old man. I know your comment is, at this time, a year old but, well, just had to post. God Bless you and yours.
@@obsidiandwarf Thank you so much. It touched me to read that, in turn, you were touched by my comment. Being a writer, I'm always deeply humbled whenever my words move people. Thanks again, and blessings to you and yours, too.
"Charlie is going to drop by tonight and try to straighten things out. Be smart, talk to him. And hold your temper."
And yet he was killed by a member of his own faction
I have two versions of Harrys Game the first one was shown as one complete drama the tiles have the orange and green Belfast map. It was shown in 1983. i think it was repeated in 1984 the second time it was broken down into 3 episodes the begining title was at the underground station and excluded the map at the beginnning. The second version also had some scenes not in the earlier transmitted version like Harry inside the Belfast post Office and an extended scrapyard scene..
peace at any cost and its value for life
Brilliant series
Excellent show
The day's when idiot announcers didn't ruin the powerful feeling of good telly, by not telling us about some utter rubbish later over the end credits.
Well said and perfectly true!!
"And the only thing on everybody's mind right now is Bonnie Tyler! Coming up next on Top of the Pops!"
Lol I hired the video from the shop in Holywood in 82
Greetings from Canada! Harry's Game is one of my favourite movies!
It's not a movie, it was a four part series
this one of those themes that carry u away to the land of uncertainty
love peace
"The rain is great" if you know you know
exelente tema
You are very correct.
Remember when terristial TV made good programnes?
@ Lee Morgan and Seamus McLaughlin - you've both been well and truly bested.
love life no harm to u all
I served in Northern Ireland and other operations as a young soldier. Amusing really that the reason soldiers were first deployed over there policing was to protect the Catholic population. Being of no religious background myself I found the whole affair ridiculous and stupid, but then again people don't need much of an excuse to murder one another any excuse will do but God's the usual one.
Conan the Barbarian well thats a big change from protestants shooting there fellow irishmen for the english crown isnt it!
Agreed Black On the streets of Derry/Londonderry. End 82 to end 84.. Queens division.. 18 years old not giving a crap what it was all about? People say it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, to me? It was the worst of times, all the time!!
@@byDamo Blame Cromwell he started it all that bastard.
Those guys would not have stayed in the land rover..once at a standstill out take cover..all round defence move every 10-15 seconds..
Stay Alive..
Remember .isn't it quite???a 5th of a second later some ones DEAD STAY ALERT STAY ALIVE
it was a drama on htv back then and it was to do with the ira in Ireland and I love it
Still poignant in 2021
Can anyone upload the full movie? Last time I watched this film was in the 80s. Thank you :-))))))))
Thomas Nolan I honk it was on the bbc
Oh no no no no no BBC would never air this. ITV
U tube these days watched it a few weeks ago
I remember watching this programme in the '80s, or at least it resembles the programme I have in my mind, a channel 4 serial where Derek Thompson's character has a steamy affair with his hostage - only on channel 4 - you don't shag the hostage !
Ale ma magię ten utwór
I totally agree with you regarding this theme Of Harry's Song ! When I think of the context of it, the troubles in Ireland, Palistine, Ukraine, Venezuela, and everywhere when Children of God are being destroyed by Evil, I don't care what your Nationality, your color, your Religion, we have got to realize, wherever you are, we share the same blood, the same Hopes 😢, let us come together and fight against evil without despair, with he Hope we can give our children and grandchildren, and their children something we have never known, Peace on Earth Good will towards Men/Women/ and children everywhere from The Ukraine to the ends of the Earth: God help us to do better.
Faithfully yours,
The Rev . D.B. Manley, Ph.D
You conveniently left out Israel for some reason.
Then we watched this serial my ex-girlfriend said I am a lot like an English agent, I still do not know why...
Thanks, been looking for this. Would you happen to have the end credits of the first episode too?
Film and half!
Just saw the whole film; it's very bleak and depressing, but this song is the best part.
So sad...
this film was bloody violent and also, I hated the year 1982 been agd 13 and stuck in dreaded school with dreaded kids and dreaded teachers whom I bloody hated with a passion.
"...A right peach."
Where can I watch this online?
came from Noodle, FUNKe, MandaloreGaming, Punk Duck, Leon Massey and JFJ for some reason.
are my favorite youtubers in a cult?
Is this the same soundtrack as to end all wars
You're hurt them.billy
Hide the ak In the train station toilets .serial numbers been taken off .walk past the police billy like you are going some where.great film and Harry had to be in the RRF OF COURSE😊😊😊😊😊
0:19 FUNKe moments real.
What happened with Dango Daikazoku??
no pasaran...
market?
shame it as hardly been repeated on rv..
where's the full film
It wasn't a film, it was a TV series in the early 1980's,
And the small arms explosives supplied through Libya.
England is England alright.........this was filmed in Leeds ha-ha
And part of Star Wars was filmed in North Africa, your point ?
is this show based on Robert Nairac?
No. It's based on the Book "Harry's Game" by Gerald Seymour
Harry in the book is a Captain from the Transport corps. He has a very different background to Nairac.
People have always had trouble with different types of religious believes unless it is their own religions? This has made me realize that religion is not too good for humanity. Being independent of mind I can like everyone despite their believes and prejudices or colour. As long as they are have a good heart and sole. But that doesn’t seam enough for the majority. I believe religion has been a way of policing their people since the beginnings of tribes. So many different gods and worships is very harmful to the minds of the followers.
I don't know who coined the term "The Troubles" but it's hilarious. I bet it was a british man.
- Hey John, do you remember that conflict we had with another nation due to our imperialist abuse?
- You mean the spanish Gibraltar affair?
- No, no that one
- The Falklands?
- Not that one either
- India? Boers? Ukraine?
- No, the one with Ireland.
- Oh yeah that one.
- Hey John
- Yes?
- Are we the baddies?
- Nonsense my dear, we did nothing wrong, it was just those catholics bringing us "the troubles"
Oh more boring English bashing yawn.
@@L1am21 Oh, those damn victims of our Imperialism, always complaining and bringing us the troubles. They bore me, Sir! I tell you, they bore me!
@@LordSesshakuthe only baddie around here is you
Ireland is not England...
long live our brothers
Tino fromSpain
Tino Trivino Gibraltar is not Spain 🇬🇧
But with all the non-Europeans flooding Ireland, soon Ireland will just be a multicultural mess, and eventually few who live there will give a rat's ass about its history. That is, unless something is done to change course.
One Third of it is
Yeah well Queen Elizabeth I kicked Spain's ass, you little bitch.
Wishbone kills and eats the Teletubbies and Barney.
Fck your queen & ur butchers apron
I'm from England..and it makes me sick to fuck to know my country did so much hurt to our Irish brothers and sisters. Absolute Joke and none of the soldiers should get away with what they done. Infact...anyone who was involved should be brought to justice
Is that you Jeremy Corbyn?
Wtf
@@motherflangeno kidding. Sounds like today's version of Lord Haw Haw.
NORTH IRLAND is Irland ,no English!
I think you meant no "e"!
Ireland is Ireland England is England Wales is Wales Scotland is Scotland though the real Britons are the Welsh the Scott's are believed to come from England before the Romans ever come they were all tribes then the Romans came then the English Saxons pushing the real Bretons into Wales the Scott's went well before the Romans did North .
The English are Germans & Dutch there the Immigrants .
+Lee Morgan The Welsh/Scots/Irish are Celtic immigrants who stole the land from the Bronze age cultures, who themselves stole it from the early pottery cultures, who stole it from the Mesolithic tribes that had lived there since the ice age.
+FatSausage1759 Nobody 'stole' a thing, just part of the tale, so get to fighting, living and dying because when you leave the stage some newborn will take your space.All natural and good so don't make it easier for undeserving others to take away your pleasant portion by bemoaning so called past injustices.
The land belongs to no one.
You are using invented divisions such as nationality, to give sharper focus to what are little more than fuzzy cultural gradations. You can no more say where the "Irish, English, Welsh or Scots" start or end than you can say where blue turns into green...
shona graham actually Scots come from Ireland.
Ethnostatist bollocks.
Noraid via America funded IRA. OUR CLOSEST Ally..thanks America🤓👍
All thanks to Bin Laden... America knows what terrorists do...... it doesn't happen elsewhere...Now who's shit scared.... Like we were in the 70s and 80s thanks to Noraid.
But don't forget that the IRA was also being backed by the Soviet Union because most of the troops deployed in NI had to be pulled out of the frontline NATO units they were facing. Where do think the semtex and AK47s came from?

Where can I find and watch this TV series?
you can get it on dvd i think
