Trivia
In 1952, Boris Karloff filmed a portmanteau film consisting of three Colonel March stories to be shown to television executives as a television series pilot. The film was immediately released in the UK as the theatrical movie, Colonel March Investigates (1953). Karloff returned to England in 1953 to film more episodes once the series was approved.

8/10

It's so watchable.

What an enjoyable series this is, 26 episodes of thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining drama.

There is a real variety here, from straight laced, traditional murder mystery, to espionage drama to pretty much pure science fiction.

I personally like the more traditional mystery, The Invisible knife is a favourite, blending various different genres, it's very, very good.

It surprises me that the series exists in its entirety, and that's wonderful, it's just a shame that a second series wasn't made.

Karloff is truly watchable, he's so good as the charismatic Colonel, he's well supported in particular by Ewan Roberts and Eric Pohlmann, but it's Karloff that stands out.

A joy to watch, 8/10.
