This was a show that was on ITV back in the 70's that tried to stimulate the imagination of young children. I can remember the theme tune to this day, which had a different ending in the openning credits to the version in the closing edit. The closing version had such a finality to it, that its still stuck in my head to this day. My only memory of the original screening is Mr Trimble in a rowing bow going under some tall arches. Turns out it was filmed at Knaresborough. There is still a company that hires rows boats at Knaresborough, but no one remembers the TV crew coming to town. There is only one episode that I am aware of that exists on youtube, which is worth checking out. However, am I the only person that remembers this show?

The 60's was the great time for the spy genre and this is a variant of that, except that the hero is not a spy, but a thief. I dont recall it being on TV first time around, and I dont think i have ever seen this on cable or satelite, ,but its worth watching if you have never seen. The only problem with the series is that a lot of episodes are the same basic plot. The hero pretends to be a scientist or an art dealer or in this case its a photographer and so it goes. And some episodes are supposed to take place in England complete with the phoney british accents dont you know. I am watching this on a German box set, the only way i could obtain a new copy, and its a bother to set it to the correct language each time, but you soon get used to it. One thing bothers me. Given most of the same episodes seem to be the same plot, I dont know how it got to a third series. Well if Scooby Doo did it for all those years, then I guess this show could do to. Recommended, but dont watch them all at once.
