A Small and Deadly War – The A-Team – The Cosy Crime Classics Podcast – Episode 13

Episode 13 of the Cosy Crime Classics Podcast sees us join the A-Team on a mission to take down a rogue group of police officers acting as hitmen for hire, as we take a look at A Small and Deadly War, from Season 1 of The A-Team. In this episode, Gerry and Iain discuss side projects.

This episode was directed by Ron Satlof. The teleplay was written by creator Frank Lupo.
