Notes

Transmitted around the time ITV went colour. The last five episodes of Series One were made in colour yet retained their B&W Thames idents.
A later Thames Television/Euston Films drama of the same title was made between 1973-74. This will be a subject of another thread in due course.

 Rated 10/10
A most excellent programme. On obtaining the Network DVD a few years back I was up in to the early hours watching them. Unusual also for a series to go into colour during its production run.

Other regular cast members I was unable to fit include JENNIFER WILSON- Det. Sgt Webb and KEITH WASHINGTON as Det. Con. Morresey.

They made a second series in 1970, all in colour. Far inferior to the first with a lousy theme which replaced the catchy Norman Kay original.

It's by great good fortune that all episodes survive from their original VT transmission tapes. The Network DVD of Series One especially is highly recommended.
