This was not just the product of a scriptwriter, It was adapted from a series of books written by John Creasey. Like the popular TV series Lovejoy written under the none De plum Jonathan Gash. A really good and interesting series needs a sound story to be based on.
Wow! Great plot, filming, action scenes, directing, casting, acting generally. For a weekly TV programme, very high quality indeed. Ten years earlier, among the many good, one can still find not a few programmes that were primitive, by comparison - nothing like this level. What a tremendous evolution into the sixties. Thank you.
Blimey ! Many thanks for sharing these bodacious "blasts from the past" with us ! A well written and well acted series indeed ! And fascinating look at the UK in the mid-60s ! Cheers ! :-)
@@lala3489 Yes, I actually have the whole series. My new PC doesn't have a DVD so I need to get a portable one to transfer onto PC and convert. When I have some free time I'll try and get onto it.
Last time I watched this series was 1970, ever since I was looking for it. You can not imagine how happy I am watching it again .. thanks for the upload
I'm really enjoying these episodes! Although I figured out who the guilty party was, when the action started, it was thrilling & had me on the edge of my seat. Thanks for the upload, Robin!
So well done. Worth watching for the nightclub scene alone - the music and the hairstyles (men and women) are just fantastic! Ty so much for posting this.
Never seen this before.Reminds me so much of the 60's with the clothes the cars and hairstyles.Hard to believe this was 53 years ago.I'm sure the man playing William Rose turned up as Ken Barlows son David in coronation street
He was already Ken's brother David before this was shown and continued playing him for a few years afterwards. The youngest son of Gideon's is now the Tory MP Giles Watling.
Born in 1974, I've only watched episodes of this in recent years, some amount of legendary actors in this programme. In this one we have Carol White as older people will know was in Cathy Come Home and Poor Cow and was also cast in a film with Roy Harper called 'Made' back in the early 70's. Alan Rothwell, had no idea he was an actor as he was presenter of Granada TV's Picture Box (creepy tune) which was a staple of ITV's Programnes for Schools back in the 70's and 80's.
Ted thesailor You are spot on....In 1960 I lived in Wickersley. Road, just off Lavender Hill, I was offered the house for two thousand pounds ( almost 3 years wages back then) that property, greatly improved, of course, was up for sale for around the 400 .000 pounds fairly recently.
The Saint was made by the same production team, I think it was at Elstree, at the same time as Gideon's Way The exteriors were all shot around London but all the interiors were sets on the sound stages. Must have been a hectic time!
Does anyone know if he was related to John Junkin, the comedy actor? 2 people with a relatively uncommon surname in branches of the same business just made me wonder.
Shame about loosing Carol While who played Wini, she died so young in 1991, aged just 48, there’s a mystery as to how she died, there’s an entry in the IMDB for further reading and stuff online.
Right, it was a bit odd. The only thing I can think of is she knew her mum would get onto the husband about it and cause an argument. She was stirring the pot and being malicious.
They've made their mind up cos the way I look......I was a mod and had a GS scooter....we were smarter, cleaner and cooler than those leather clad greasers!!
Those clip-ons were a really bad idea; you have much less steering control than with the standard bars. But it was a fashion back then. I tried them but took them off again.
My Commando was fast but hopelessly unreliable, after a few months I took it back to Commerfords in Surbiton and stopped paying the HP.@@andrewallen9993
Those horrible bikers with Rod as their leader wouldn’t even stop 🛑 to help her. I know that they’re only movies that make me happy or sad 😔 but I guess that I have too much empathy for the characters. 😊😊😊
I get like that when watching movies and shows, where Some kind of injustice or some wrong doing has been committed. My husband says oh it's just a show, or it's just a movie. But I get invested in the story and characters and have empathy for characters. Some of us are sensitive and have empathy more than others. It's just the way we're wired.
If your feet aren't on the pegs while riding a motorcycle, you are balancing the bike and yourself with your privates... When you see this, you know they still haven't learned the most basic rule of keeping control of the motorcycle - use the strength of your 2 legs and not the weakness of your friggin' balls. They are rookies, and you can recognize too many of them in this film.
Interesting time capsule. In 1964, smacking a woman was apparently considered to be necessary maintenance. Indeed, a second woman seeing it immediately makes a play for the smacker. Then stepdad wonders what she did to deserve it and whether she was smacked hard enough. Sir Sean would have approved - his generation. Apart from that somewhat jarring element, well acted and written.
This was when it was 'cool' to speak American, many examples, but, at 10 minutes, a tramp instead of a trollop, railroad, instead of railway(47 mins in), but these expressions never sounded convincing coning out of an Englishman's mouth.

Too bad, those cops were not carrying gun that can shoot the cold blood and coward killler 50 yard from the girl about to be stabbed in the neck; the girl likely have been stabbed to death if it was not a movie.

@Roadrunner-1000 You’re right . And it’s not just sad but desperately awful .
So refreshing to watch! I remember these series from my childhood. I've just seen a snapshot of Sergeant Cork which I must watch!
Glad you liked it. I remember Sgt Cork too! Used to find it scary seeing him walk out of the fog at the start.
Wow! Great plot, filming, action scenes, directing, casting, acting generally. For a weekly TV programme, very high quality indeed.

What sort of smirk / smile was that after she said he can have her dinner?
Right, it was a bit odd. The only thing I can think of is she knew her mum would get onto the husband about it and cause an argument. She was stirring the pot and being malicious.

How many of these old English cop shows do they always end up in a disused gas works , railway tracks or scrapyard where theres no one to help
Cheap places to film for one, generally empty at weekends. The Sweeney etc loved them in the 1970s too
Not just in the UK. Look at any US or mainland Europe cop shows from the 50s to now and you'll see similar.
