Wiki.
Harry's Game is a British television drama mini-series made by Yorkshire Television for ITV in 1982, closely based on the 1975 novel Harry's Game by Gerald Seymour, a former journalist. Apart from brief scenes, it is set in and around Belfast during the Troubles.
Its lead actors were Ray Lonnen, Derek Thompson and Benjamin Whitrow. The series was well-received, and added to the channel's reputation for producing quality TV drama.The drama is noted for its closing music, "Theme from Harry's Game", by the Irish musical group Clannad. The music was used in trailers and later commercially released, reaching the top five of Irish and British singles charts, bringing the band its first major international exposure. The drama, filmed in West Yorkshire, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland has been released under five other names in other countries.
