A Place to Hide

The first episode of this six parter from ATV can be found on Network Dvds Look Back at 70s telly Issue 3 disc 2.

The basic plot, without revealing spoilers, revolves around a gang of bank robbers.

They pull off a robbery, then they hide out in a bed-and-breakfast house in the English Midlands.

I never found out what happened much after that - I had to go back to school (a boarding school in Gloucestershire, where we weren't allowed to watch telly, so I never knew what happened next).

It was repeated in 1978 on a Friday - I managed to see a bit more of it - by then, I was in a more local boarding school - but I was never able to come home every weekend - tea was at half four, so no chance of watching telly there.

Is this series available on DVD?

Three bank robbers in disguise steal a van and car and stay at a remote guest house. They want to hide their haul but the son of the guest house owners finds the disguises hidden in a bag in the bushes and tries to open the boot of the car.

It was on Sunday teatime back in 1976 then repeated on Fridays after school in late 1977/1978.

Six thirty minute episodes made by ATV (Associated Television) at their Elstree Studios and surrounding areas of Borehamwood & Elstree.

Starred Terry Duggan Hilary Crane David Nunn Frances Tomelty Arthur White Brian Capron Kate Saunders Lloyd Maguire.

a real gem, used to rush home from school to watch this series. It was so good. Wish it was on DVD for my own kids to watch. Much better than the stuff they put on for kids these days. Series is about a group of bank robbers who hide out after the robbery. Brian Capron is brilliant in it. In fact every one in it is good and for me to remember so many years later proves it. If you ever get a chance to see it again watch it. Its well worth it. Quite a few stars of today are in it probably at the beginning of their careers. As a kid I found it very gripping and so interesting, good verses bad etc. A request to the Powers that be please either repeat this on TV or definitely produce DVD of it.
