The original novel, a sensational success at the time of publication, was one of the first signs heralding half a century of enmity and war between Britain and Germany, with the novel's British protagonists unearthing a German plot for the invasion of England and courageously striving to foil it. The fact of the novel being adapted to a German TV series, with the protagonists played by German actors and a German TV audience expected to identify with them, is a clear indication that that Anglo-German enmity had come to its end.
