Fraud Squad (1969–1970)
8/10
Well worth watching, cracking series.
9 June 2022
Inspector Gamble and Detective Sergeant Hicks investigate all manner of frauds, watched by the eagle eye of Superintendent Proud.

A very, very watchable series, different, you won't see the duo investigate burglaries and murders, but cases of fraud, some large scale, some very much smaller scale.

Patrick O'Connell and Joanna van Gyseghem are both great, and share a level of chemistry, you'll see then work in harmony, clash, and flirt.

Wonderfully watchable, it's a great format, and you will see plenty of well known faces, so many to see and enjoy, the likes of Anton Rodgers, George Baker and Michael Gambon. For me, Angela Browne and Dinsdale Landed shine in particular.

If you love the visuals of the 60's like I do, then you're in for a treat, it looks great, love the fashions, cars, but also the music.

Double Deal, and Pros and cons are my favourite episodes, both featured awesome central characters, both brilliant, and so original. Overall I thought Series one was more consistent, but the second features a mix of brilliant, and weaker stories.

I think it perhaps ended at the right time, but there are twenty six episodes to sit back, and enjoy.

8/10.
