Well the videotaped series is (1 & 2). I'm still struggling with the 3rd and 4th. Even though you may find the latter series 'grittier' (certainly grainier) and more 'realistic', the actors aren't photographed very flatteringly and the humour isn't as subtle. The chemistry is good between George Sewell and Patrick Mower but Roger Rowland seems a bit out of place in his scenes with them. Missing the original already!

I'm nearing the end of the final series now, which I have liked better than the previous one, and

not far away from being reaquainted with these characters from the videotaped episodes again:





The guest stars for that week's episode, Warrant for a Phoenix included Paul Stassino and Clifford Rose.
