Need help finding an old t.v. movie. May be British.

The name of the show was Sleepers. It was a spy plot where two Russians were planted in England and allowed to blend in. The idea was that they were going to be re-activated when needed to perform nefarious deeds. This movie was at least thirty years before Angelina Jolie's Salt.

The cute thing about this show was that the two spies were so Anglicized that they were unable to turn, so the whole movie was about how they were going to stay alive and stay with the people they loved.

Update. I think I found it:
