Absolutely love this programme, great acting and storylines, have never missed an episode yet
Dated but enjoyable. Watched a few episodes and was unmoved, but stuck with it and was eventually drawn in by the interesting stories and generally great performances.
It's a somewhat strange 1960s world, both familiar and alien to see.
And I'm ready to to watch another episode and go back into that world.
I don't recall seeing 'The Human Jungle' when it was originally shown on TV but its return on the excellent 'Talking Pictures' channel has provided much pleasure. In every respect, the production is very good, with credible storylines and characters, and crisp dialogue and photography. I have never found Herbert Lom to fail to deliver, whatever his role, and this is certainly no exception as he fits the part of Dr Roger Corder perfectly and acts it with aplomb. And he is invariably well-supported by the other actors, who are a veritable cornucopia of reliable stalwarts from the period - mostly well-recognised if not always easy to name. Fiction it is, but it is convincing as well as entertaining and it is perhaps a pity that Dr Corder is not in reality available for consultation - not that I am (yet) in need of psychiatric help!
I loved this series and would dearly like to see it again. I used to watch it every week without fail and was so disappointed when it finished.
I used to enjoy the twists and turns of each story and the guest actors were well chosen for their respective roles.
This is indeed for me one of the most memorable television series of the sixties.
As an aside Mary Yeomans who played Herbert Lom's secretary was the mother of a school friend of mine but I did not get to know her until after the series had finished which is such a pity.

I was 13 when this series was first screened and I loved every aspect of it - including the wonderful main theme music by Bernard Ebbinghouse, arranged by John Barry.
Herbert Lom was perfect as Dr Roger Corder and there were many guest stars who added their weight to this terrific series.
I was delighted when it reappeared on Talking Pictures, some years ago, and again more recently.
From the first note of the double bass, I know I'm going to see an excellent show, well written and with a terrific cast. Alas the vast majority of the performers are no longer with us, but I hope they were proud of their contribution.

- TriviaHerbert Lom had spent a lot of his career playing villains until this series came along. Being cast in the leading role as a sympathetic character, proved to be a change of pace for the actor.
