It is largely a novelisation of three episodes: the bubonic plague one, Ring of Roses; the raid on a V2 launch site, Just Light the Blue Touch Paper; and the finale, The Execution, with linking narrative.

I think if I had been advising Brason, I'd have suggested giving even more time to the climax of the story and dropping the earlier bits. The plague episode is particularly weird to watch in 2020, but I think it's a dramatic miss as the tension of the situation is resolved in a bound at the end. The V2 episode looks great, but surely our heroes are acting somewhat outside their usual mandate here? As it is, the two penultimate episodes, Days of Judgement and Bridgehead, are dispatched in about three pages. However, at the end, everyone is where they are meant to be, and the book purchaser of 1979, who would have had no idea that in forty years' time we could stream the whole show, would have been glad to be reminded of a few key moments.
