      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.

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.
