Viewers were quick to take to Twitter after the episode ended to praise the drama, with one person writing: "A cracking adaptation of a great book. This is the quality drama we need.

A second viewer tweeted: "That went so quickly. Just brilliant, best thing ITV have done for ages," while a third agreed, adding: "This is really rather excellent #theipcressfile."
A third fan of the show commented on the stylish 1960s era costumes: "I caught up with #TheIpcressFile on ITV. I loved the film and I love this. I mean I am obsessed with the 1960s aesthetic anyway so this is right up my street. Why can’t everyone dress like this anymore? Men, please start wearing bowler hats again."

Some viewers continued to notice the show's use of the Dutch camera angle, which was employed by the director of the 1965 film, Sidney J. Furie. One person wrote: "This show's commitment to the Dutch angle is admirable," while another added: "Did they really have to shoot every shot in #theipcressfile at a severe angle? Anytime anyone is sat down I'm expecting them to slide into a wall."
The Ipcress File continues on Sundays at 9pm on ITV. The full boxset is available on ITV Hub.
