2 At All Costs (2.1) Be warned - there's no way to discuss this particular episode without describing plot specifics, so spoilers abound. The season two opener, it introduces two new Sandbaggers in the form of Mike Wallace and Tom Elliot (David Beames). While Mike went on to be a regular, Tom...

4 Operation Kingmaker (2.6) The Sandbaggers gets a deserved comedy episode and one of its finest hours, as the previous controller, or "C" - the superb Richard Vernon - has retired between episodes, causing a power vacuum in the department. Ever manipulative, Burnside sets about attempting to...

16 A Feasible Solution (1.6) The Sandbaggers is such a quality show that the concept of "worst to best" is almost redundant. The bottom four are perhaps warranted, and the same applies to the top four or five, but the entries here from Nos. 6-16 could almost be in any order, the consistency is...

18 Unusual Approach (3.3) One of two episodes (along with Operation Kingmaker) that attempted a more overtly comedic take on the series, Unusual Approach sees Burnside ordered to take a holiday after two years without leave. The unlikely upshot is that he's booked on a trip with two of his...
