When this series first hit the screens in late 1969 I was living in bedsitter land Earls Court without a TV so missed it completely. It was only recently whilst searching IMDb for Anneke Wills who had fired my schoolboy libido when she was in Doctor Who that I came across it. I managed to score a copy of the complete series on DVD and watched all the episodes over a couple of days. This is a ten star series, well written and well-acted by all concerned, especially Anthony Quayle as Adam Strange. I love watching these series from the 60's, especially the locations as I know London from that time so well. My next move is to get all the Dept S and Jason King box sets, Peter Wyngarde had a flat in the house next to mine and drove a Jenson which he parked outside, try doing that now. It also good to see the mini-skirted Anneke Wills amongst the other swinging sixties actresses including the lovely Elaine Taylor who my father once danced with on the Isle of Wight when we had a holiday there and she was doing a summer season on Sandown pier. I think he was a bit enamoured with her, well who wouldn't be. Episodes also feature some rising stars including john Thaw, Ian Ogilvy, Rosemary Leach and Martin Shaw. It is well worth getting the DVD which has been lovingly restored and looking like it was filmed recently. There are some interviews with Martin Shaw and Zienia Merton plus short documentaries with Anneke Wills and Kaz Garas. It's just a shame the cast decided they didn't want to do a second series in the United States. I can't recommend this series enough.
