A series of films with clever plot twists, surprises and the best of British. Looked upon as a TV series, but these were low budget B movies.
The quality does vary somewhat, when they're good, they're great, and episodes such as Change Partners, Ricochet and Playback are all terrific thrillers.
Return to Sender and Locker 69 are the only real clunkers, but in a way, both are still fairly watchable. Sometimes the format did get a little repetitive, and I'd argue that on a few instances there was just a lack of variety.
Expect to see some wonderful, well known faces, the likes of John Thaw, Michael Gough, William Hartnell and of course Michael Caine. Two of my personal favourite performances come from Barry Forster and Kenneth Cope.
That simple, but effective opening sequence still looks great, and that accompanying music still sounds wonderfully haunting.
I love the visuals, the clothes, cars, interiors etc, one thing always gets me, just how busy The High Streets aleUs are.
I'm still struggling to track down The Malpas mystery, for some reason it just seems impossible to track down, one day.
8/10.
