Wonderful review

Just like to say wonderful review by "Hidden Depths" Watched the entire episodes at the time (1972) and still think it was unmissable. "You've been messing in my briefcase have you lad" Milton Johns later appeared in Coronation Street as Brendon Scott. I think the series really captured the essence of the lonely wild and windswept Cumbrian coast.

Broadcast by Granada around teatime on Sunday, if I recall correctly, I was hooked by the very first episode, when I have mentioned it to my friends not many recall it, which is a great shame. "Sonny" came across as very strange and menacing, in fact top marks to all the cast.
