I have managed to watch 22 episodes of this series and I am looking for the few remaining episodes that exist or are said to exist anyway.
Every episode has a different detective and characters along with a different story, they are all interesting and of good consistency in quality of the story. The acting is also very good despite a good few episodes using somewhat unknown actors. The first series is presented by Rupert Davies in his Maigret character which is a nice touch, but every time I watched him I really wanted him to take on the role of the detective in the episode rather than just introducing the episode, I really enjoyed his TV series Maigret and consider it the best of all versions.
I think these episodes still hold up today as good TV and I think worthy of being transmitted on TV again perhaps a TV channel like Talking Pictures might be able to in the future as they do transmit some great old B&W TV series from the U. K. as well as some great films, all of which you would not see anywhere else, unfortunately!
I would recommend anyone here to seek out these episodes as they are worth finding and watching and offer some great stories and acting plus we get to see a different pace of life and attitudes some of which are sorely missed in today's TV offerings.
