    Brilliant opening sequence and theme music, a real shame so much was lost.

    I remember being a regular watcher of this series while working in Wolverhampton back in 1966 aged 20. The most memorable part of The Ratcatchers for me was the opening sequence and the theme music that I have tried many times over the years to get a copy of but without success. The story lines were fast paced and intelligent and all the violence was justified something sadly lacking with many modern television series. This being the UK prior to 1968 it was shown in black and white but this did not make it any the less a good television series and in my opinion, on a par with Adam Adamant Lives. It was very sad to hear that only two and a bit episodes are know to survive from the twenty five made. It would be really good news to have the missing episodes turn up in some forgotten archive.

    "Say so if you understand me"

    Great series from yesteryear though the greatest memory I have was the start of each episode/story with Philip Stone's character the Brigadier saying "say so if you understand me"!

    The Rat Catchers - a unique 1960s TV spy series and serial

    The Rat Catchers had a unique TV format - a series of 13 for two consecutive years, with story lines written as a trilogy or two parter, taking Smith, Hurst and the Brigadier to many European countries, the furthest abroad being the Greek trilogy (Corfu, Meteora and Athens). They also visited Ireland (Dromoland Castle Hotel), Madrid, Lisbon, Stockholm, Amsterdam (where Alpha finally got his come-uppance!) and other locations around London and the UK. Gerald Flood, formerly Colonel Sharif Mahmoud from "Crane", was wonderful as Peregrine Pascale Smith, the urbane, elegant assassin who, in Mr Flood's own words in a magazine interview enjoyed "doing his rather dreadful job supremely well." Glyn Owen, as Richard Hurst, was the "common working policeman", uneasy at his assignment, whilst Philip Stone's Brigadier Davidson, whose catch phrase was "Say so, if you understand me", was delivered with icy coolness. I would love to re-view all these shows but gather that only a half-hour of one episode is all that has been kept. Ah, yes, I will never forget the thrill of hearing that unique musical introduction (I still have the 45!) and the real enjoyment this unique TV series and serial afforded all those who watched. "Say so, if you understand me!"

    I also remember "The Rat Catchers"

    I also fondly remember this series (I am 48). I think it was one of the earliest TV shows that presented British intelligence agents not as square-jawed heroes but as ruthless operators prepared to resort to any measure to eliminate enemies of the state. Glyn Owen's character was the conscience of the team, agonising over how to reconcile each dirty mission with his own moral code, and how to extract himself from an organisation that did not countenance resignation. Counterpoised against him was Gerald Flood as a cold-blooded assassin.

    The series also operated against the background of the British class system, with Owen's character the working-class ex-policeman with a heart of gold, and Gerald Flood the urbane, mannered ex-public schoolboy with the granite centre. Excellent stuff!

    A masterpiece in the evolution of TV Espionage.

    A superb, masterful series in the riveting evolution of the genre from the superb Dangerman to the superb Callan (yes, all three were superb - and I don't doubt that this evolution of the genre will be a much-noted part of our cultural history, like impressionism to cubism, or blues to pop). As others have noted: suffused with class issues and the dirty truths of the espionage game - but not yet quite as much as Callan. What a tragedy that so little seems left - search the attics!

    I first saw it in the UK, then was ecstatic to see it again after migrating to Australia. So tapes definitely went in that direction. My bet is that there's a few dusty tapes lurking out in the colonies, such as regional (country) TV stations in Aust. Please keep your eyes open.

      The total number of editions currently known to exist on film or videotape stands at just two (season one's "Ticket To Madrid" and "The Unwitting Courier", along with an incomplete copy of season two's "The Heel of Achilles") out of 25. Additionally, six largely-complete off-air audio editions are known to exist (namely "Return of Evil", "Death in Madeira", "Midnight Over Madeira", "Dead End Dubrovnik", "The Heel of Achilles" and "The Mask of Agamemnon"). The rest of the series is missing presumed wiped.
